An Imaginary Man


When you are in love
With an imaginary man
Who smiles at you without hesitance
Who looks at you in silence
And who gives you,
The pleasure with unspoken words of affection
You feel alive
And you feel liberated from the anguish of abandonment

 


When you are in love with an imaginary man
With a mind of gumption
That excites you
That grows your feelings
In the days and the nights
With the flow of sanctity into awakening desire
He could devour you
This is the beautiful sense of love
