Poem: "Aimie's Affair"

You can have me in many ways

You can have me and be in a dream

A dream I need not know of

A dream you can call your own

A fantasy that puts you in your own little world -

I can be happy and have a disposition

As long as I have you to please

A natural tendency to spoil

And love your children, too

And, oh how they will be loved like you -

But last night, oh there was last night

I was but a show toy...far beneath

Far beneath an equal mate

How can you love me in mutual sense?

But I showed no pain, but there was within

Like a bird dropping dead from a bow -

It showed me the totalitarianism of domination

Domination with abomination

The use of one in one's own accord

A feeling of ownership in their own right

Inquiry into validity of verdict -

This will be no more, my love

Where there is real love, as it is ruled...

There is no procedure to determine admissibility

No motion can be served

On both parties involved without mutual consent...

...consent of mutual love.

But what is learned of a desire that is not responded?

Can it only show a passion in one's heart?

A passion that is a want without a means...

A passion that is only felt by one?

When you find a special person and feel it,

The desire to know and love this person,

Will it be of a mutual reciprocation?

It, then, is only a want of need

A desire to have

A desire for togetherness

A desire that may never be

And when you learn of Aimie's affair

You'll know whe was not meant to be

Not meant to be real for you

And then you must learn of the prodijy

The age old prodijy of man since the dawn of time

Desire and want can drive you outside your senses

And your actions upon this will result in great harm

Not to her...but to your heart, soul, and emotions of "desire"
