—poetry by Marc Carver

Niki 

I fell in love with a girl
I met in a dream last night.
Even though she does not exist
she is the realist love I have ever had.
A symbol maybe
that life changes like the stages of a butterfly.
One part ends and another begins.

The last time I saw her
she did not speak to me
but she looked back
as she walked away.

All I need to do now
is go and find her.
As she wants to be found
even if she does not exist in this world
I will look and even ask too.
And just maybe
I will find her
