Forever Mine

I always knew you would belong to me one day And knew too that there would be others You and I could never be forever… Moving from shop to shop I’d eyeball parts for you Sizing up what you would look like When my dreams were finally realized The only man you could ever love. Nikola Tesla had nothing on me When I imagined your comings and goings, The competence of feminine curves Leaving nothing to be desired. The flawless logic of your imagination, The joining of appendages to body, So perfect in every aspect, And skin forever supple and yielding No other woman could compare. All components tested well in advance by The man who might be your God. Now my research completed The real work could finally begin, From the ground up you came together, Seed of my imagination blooming at last Dreamlike was the realization of your beauty Until naked you stood complete before me As if asleep perhaps, or waiting for my command. I pressed the hidden switch And felt your soul receive its spark A slight hum and smell of plastic barely noticeable Hmmnn, I thought, and added perfume to my list. Your smile seemed so perfectly full of life As your body temperature rose to meet mine. Softly you engaged yourself in my life, Digital sensitivity part of your program, You urged your potential onto living flesh, Your hand so gently placed in mine. But as I yielded to this new passion, I confess that I wondered for a second or two, Just how long the two of us would last.
