Love Toys

During my period of deceit –

my insensitive years –

I dreamed a thousand dreams of love.

        complete satisfaction guaranteed

             or your money cheerfully refunded.

In the process of denial, I created a

complex matrix of need-filling roles.

        So easy to assemble even a child can do it.

In rediscovering the value of love, I offer it

as a priceless gift to all who will accept,

and touch:

        Yours for just 25 cents and three boxtops.

Was there ever a time when I received

as well as tried to give my love?

        Be the first on your block to own one.

This is the force that now molds me

and motivates me into existence.
