Dream Lover

Robert Haigh

I dreamed last night I was
Jacqueline Bisset's lover.
We were both young and beautiful.
I called her Jackie and I was
besotted with her. She called me
darling, though I doubt she
ever loved me. We visited
art galleries and dined
in fancy restaurants.
Her friends all viewed me
with suspicion, and
Jackie soon tired of me.
So, we parted company.
Funny how, in dreams,
the fates always conspire
against me. The same thing
happened with Stefanie Powers!
