1987 Come True

1987 Come True

A Poem by Dwain Dowdy
"

True Story of my first highschool crush

"
Have you ever had a fantasy come true
Did you think that it could be real
How many times has your mind played it through
Almost enough to physically feel

Then again no one can be me
A story too remarkable to conceive
Of a fantasy I started 34 years ago
To reality yesterday if you can believe

I memorized her voice every time she said hi
A kind and accepting smile she wore
The smell of her hair I carried all day
My pulse would race in the imagination would soar

Her eyes were always happy they seemed
Bright and honest and so green
Her presence alone would take my breath
She was more than I could have ever dreamed

But a fantasy it would be none the less
She was beautiful older and sincere
And then in my mind as the day grew dark
The sinful side of the fantasy appeared

So Yesterday fate called out for round 2
After a 34-year recess to be precise
And when I heard that lovely voice again
My soul screamed to heaven with delight

Being an adult now the fantasy seemed clear
Again seeing her green eyes on fire
That calming Sensation that she wants had
Was now replaced with lust and desire

Not slowing down to think things through
We both surrendered to the sin
That fantasy I created in 1987
Has now become reality, as a new life we begin.

For Carla Sue.
