In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “What a Twist!.”

i waited for night to fall

i waited for people to sleep

i waited to be alone in my room

i waited for everyone to leave

…………………………………………………..

i dressed in my best nightwear

i wore my favorite perfume

i brushed and flossed my teeth 

and sat pretty in my room

………………………………………………..

and then the moment came

when my dream man came to me

i had a night full of passion

i was happy and free

………………………………………………

  and when the morning came

we sat and ate together

no one else seemed to notice him

they would not get it, maybe never

………………………………………………..

he was everywhere around me

but he was invisible to all

was he  for real or was he a ghost

for no one could hear him fall

…………………………………………………….

and it seems i was in love with a ghost

but the experience was surreal

at least he gave me a lot of happiness

what if he was not  for real
