I Dream Myself Into Being

 

You are standing in front of me even though
you are gone.
 You are gone in so many ways.
 I dream myself into being.
Pretending the apple tree
blooms.
 Blooms like a newborn love
of teenager lust.
 Consumes me in eager
anticipation.
 You are away, a distant figment
of somebody elses nights.
 Sleeping in a bed that I used
to know.  Somebody elses underwear
is on the floor.
 I imagine myself into a place
where flowers colour
the landscape.
 Ignore the truth.
 Discard the facts.
 That the flowers are dead.
They have not been watered or fed.
 They are symbols of a garden
too long ignored.
 Looking at your face, I wonder why
it is
I cannot recognize you.
