Me Still As Statue

shadow beautiful 
outline smooth as wife 
but mannequine

touched her softly still
dreaming oneness through feel 
though statue stood still

wife shook my sweet dream  
real replacing plastic feel
me still as statue

Very curious how you were reaching to touch the statue and then became very still as your wife woke you. Perhaps you should haved continued dreaming, Hitendra. A very intriguing poem that really captures the reader's attention. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
