The Other Side of Reality....Cleave Form

This is three separate poems, that when put together (and read left to right ) make one. 1. 2. 3. Once upon My fairytale There began a time when my heart and his nightmare, dreadful and horrid, was carefree and gay sailing together a journey, sailing sweet and innocent on different ships through a crystal mist Life was good and for a while two souls drifted on lifting in song a story spun full of promise a fantasy that fell sugary ripe and whole and was dripping from my lips succulent like honey. When stormy days In torrential rains Then he sailed in on broken sails clinging to life and stole my heart, our two ships weathering the storm our destinies did collide with solid resolve Now linked together His nightmare blind with fear as his wild rages ripped my fantasy plunging into darkness shattered and broke apart, before gasping and smashing the glass bubble my very eyes stinging with rage But through it all Love saved us both as the clouds parted Our love rang true and on that magic day the seas calmed on the dawning day when sun shone down again we made it through the gale beaten but not broken safe and sound, together on a dingy with faith renewed Two as one, together now hand in hand I stand with you into our sunset. we sail reborn On the other side of reality from our fears we're both set free For Michael Jordons poetry contest, The other side of reality
