I wrote this poem to use in my book.  I'm sure it's not perfect, but I kind of like it!

 

Forever a Fantasy by Johanna Rose

 

I close my eyes and there you are

I open them, and you’re afar

You come to me when I’m asleep

But there’s no way that you I’ll keep

You’re but a mem’ry when I wake

My life with you is not at stake

The truth is that you’ll always be

Not real for me, my fantasy…….

 

You do the things that I would want

You’ll take me there, I’m confident

You’ll give to me most everything

And when you’re gone, my heart will sting

I can only love you while I dream

You are not here, though real you seem

And when you’re gone into my past

I know that you’ll not be my last

 

I will not stray far from the realms

Where truth is all that overwhelms

I’ll return to dreaming in my mind

And create another special find

To keep me grounded and in tune

With all the world beyond the moon

And once again while resting here

 I’ll find myself, without a tear……….
