Fantasies <br /> <br /> Why do I like to fantasize<br /> Whenever thoughts of you appear<br /> <br /> How I might hold you close again<br /> And feel your warmth but now shed a tear<br /> <br /> For we would be one if I had stayed<br /> But leave I did in that fateful year<br /> <br /> To follow a path I now regret<br /> And left that wonderful Newfoundland air<br /> <br /> Had things turned out the way they should<br /> We would have made a handsome pair<br /> <br /> And consummated there at home<br /> A wonderfully close and romantic affair<br /> <br /> But you have moved on and made a life<br /> And have a family way out there<br /> <br /> You may be rich, you may be poor<br /> But I will always hold thoughts of you dear<br /> <br /> They stay with me sharply in my mind<br /> They're top of mind always and so clear<br /> <br /> Every living moment in my mind<br /> Your image stays with me forever dear<br /> <br /> For I am alone and made no life<br /> While you, my love, have solidified your affair <br /> <br /> So on I dream of what might have been<br /> The fantasies remain and continue to appear<br /> <br /> One day I hope our paths will cross<br /> And I again will embrace the one I find so fair <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Another purely imaginary poem on a subject that keeps popping into my mind<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
