Analysis of Love's Reality—Unreal



Your lies much more exciting,
  than any truth you never told

Stolen moments of pure delight,
  a fantasies cuckold

Your touch hides what your eyes cannot,
  my dreams you come to steal

Your body moves, your heart lays still,
  love’s reality—unreal

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
