Perfect marble, silky cusp

Icy fingers, flaming blush;

Lustrous hands, something new

to show heaven's living proof

Quite enamoured just from you

so here is what I made of you.


This is my intense creation

The ideal lover, the faultless friend

whose pieces I put

back together again

Dainty cheeks,

ingratiating lips,

ready for a brand new life.


And suddenly I was revered

as a great illusionist.


Static statues, suspended

in the cold air of a museum exhibition.

Eyes that watch the little corners

of the room with inhibition,

enduring the toils of breathing, of sentience,

of carrying a pulse.

Of being.

Almost being.


My craftsmanship is excellent,

because I want to heal.

These people I have forged from stone

have finally made me feel.

But they're just fragments from my head,

figures now congealed.

They're just visions from my bed.

Why can't they be real?
