Fantasy exceeds reality
because the odds don’t matter
and the hero gets the girl.
The poet can change the world
and melt the diamond hard heart
with pretty words
for the pretty woman.
Fantasy has the soft edges,
filters out blemishes
and flaws that reality focuses on
to the exclusion of the
underlying beauty.
Fantasy lets dreams take shape
and substance, true form
that could never be otherwise.
Most of all, fantasy lets
me love you.
