Dream Lovers
I saw the thing coming out of the sky.
It had two sets of wings & 3 big eyes.
It was the size of a Mini Cooper.
I didn’t have that big of a scooper.
It flew in a circle then it came down.
It’s cheeks were rosy. It looked like a clown.
“Take me to your girlfriend” it squeaked out.
In a voice so low I told it to shout.
“What do you want with her?” I yelled.
“She looks like the type that should be held.”
“Not by you, you horror movie reject.”
“Hey, I came a long way. Show some respect.”
“What are you?”, I curiously asked.
“A Cupid under a curse.” it answered at last.
“Where do you come from?” I asked again.
“A place where lovers always win.”
I yelled out “Oh no you don’t.”
“Not with my girl you won’t.”
“She’s not breaking that curse for you..”
“If she does then we are threw.”
“Let’s ask her” he said with a smile.
“Looks like I’m gonna be here awhile.”
“She’ll be scared of a freak like you.’
“Not after what I’m gonna do.”
“What exactly do you have in mind?”
“Treat her right then she will be mine.”
“I’m gonna treat her like a lady.”
“She’ll fall for me & I don’t mean maybe.”
I lunged for him and I fell out of bed.
I was dizzy for a while. I landed on my head.
Then I realized it was all a dream.
I got dressed and drove like a fiend.
Straight to my girlfriends place.
I rushed to her door like it was a race.
I hugged her like I never have before.
I said she was all I wanted and nothing more.
She was a lady & I would treat her like one.
Always, when serious or having fun.
She said ”What’s come over you?”
“I realize that I love you. Isn’t that cool?”
