Reality Dose

Your broke into my fantasy With large dose of reality You banished every dream in flight Caught each one in your snare of night You invaded my Eden home Changed every fairy to a gnome My small corner of paradise Blocked by your flaming sword of lies Each constellation of desire You flung down into the mire The flowers round my bowing head You turned to prickly thorns instead Why not let me live out my dream? A nightmare flood you made the stream How hard is it to let me be? Immersed in passion’s ecstasy? Why not with kindness walk on by? Why suck my love till it runs dry? My rendez vous with joyful bliss You betrayed with your Judas kiss Now on the floor with broken wings Reality Dose…how it stings! Eileen Manassian Ghali PS....the seed for this poem...Reality Dose...was planted and germinated out of a conversation I had JUST this afternoon chatting with GURU JAD! Never know when inspiration will strike! :)

Lock those Fantasy doors, he never should have been allowed to enter. It is your dream you make the rules, you are the warrior princess and he is yours to command. Well done Eileen, vivid and passionate.

I don't take lightly to bubble bursters, Mr Seal....You may read up on this issue by checking out my poem, Bubble Bursters Beware! Yes....I never give in and will be floating in a beautiful bubble soon! :) Sorry it happens to you, my dear. Do tell Auntie who the culprit is, and she will set HER straight! ;)

Reality stings when one is too focused on fantasy. Nothing wrong with dreaming, but one still needs to look where they're walking. :) Nicely done!
