A Letter To My Lover Poem by Raimi Babatunde

...dear lover,
If I say I love you
Jesus will die again.
Love! - It once existed

If I say you are my fantasy
Eros will be a child of light
Fantasy! - now devoid in my world.

If I say you are my dream
Morpheus will laugh in his sleep.
Dream? - Now void and empty.

...dear Lover,
Once upon a time,
I was your goddess,
Was I not your world?
I was your universe
Even though you called me your life.

Now, reality has struck
I lay alone on my couch
Left only with memories.
Memories now dreams.
