When reality bites,
it inflects hurt and pain;
and while we lick our wounds,
we cannot run away.
Fueling fantasies
tightly tethered to love;
erotic dreams offer
a secret place to play.
A sanctuary for
fragile fledgling feelings;
within dreams, fantasies
and truths can coexist.
Sighting a shooting star,
you launch wishes with hope;
for even a little,
can take you a long way.
Life is way too short to
waste worrying about
unfulfilled promises;
or yesterday's mistakes.
