Out of this world

My nickname’s Pygmalion
From those in the know
My interest in women
I never do show
To those I confide in
And have some affection
I am but a man
Who is seeking perfection
I pay no attention
Rejecting them all
For my birthday I got
An inflatable doll
But I’ve got a secret
That I’ll never mention
The woman I dream of
Will come from invention
I sweat and I tinker
Upstairs in the attic
Her form, it will soon be alive,
Automatic.
All silicone circuits
Endowed with a soul
Her life will have purpose
And mine will be whole
It awaits but a visit
From a Deity high
To give her emotions
And let her reply
To questions exquisite
Already have I
Composed with devotion
And love in my eyes
But, if wishes were horses
And Santa were real
My lover would speak things
I only could feel
Wish on a star
That I may and I might
See her movements so graceful
And regal, tonight
My nickname’s Pygmalion
They think I’m Australian
But they’ll never know that I’m really
The Alien.

Lee Dunn has been writing since the age of 18, but found that work got in the way for the ensuing 48 years. In his home town of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, he reveled in his independence at an early age, and spent as much time as he could exploring the city’s Arts scene. He was introduced to poetry and prose by the works of two literary giants, namely J.R.R. Tolkien and J.W. Lennon and thence fell in love with the written word. His work includes poetry, short fiction, and personal essays, and ranges in theme from the surreal to the horrific, nostalgic, and themes on the human condition. He has been published on Spillwords.com, The Dark Poets Club, Journal of Undiscovered Poets, Crepe & Penn Literary magazine, and the Shelburne Free Press.
