Black Eyed Susan Poet Free verse

Crystal Fantasy

"I never travel without my diary, one should always have something sensational to 
read . .  .”  Oscar Wilde, 1891 


                                                                                                       April 12, 2011
It happened again on April 12th
My crystal dove fell off the shelf
The shelf of knickknacks in my mind
Of people and places, left behind 
This one was Adam and all we could be
Lovers, partners, the possibilities
The alternate dream, if you would
Of another us in a parallel world
Where I’m not married, nor is he
And dreams of together morph into being
I pick this dove up, this Adam fantasy
And place it on the shelf, out of my reach


Susan Burch
*Won 8th place in "The Diary" contest
