Poem
Last Mirage of Love Is a dream afraid of stirring a child left sleeping through the day never to see the world that’s shinning or the fields where they would play. If I were lost you wouldn’t find me you wouldn’t think to search the fields and if I were found well then you would lose me you would be inquiring somewhere else. Is a smile afraid of giving too many tears left to cry a fairy tale with no ears to hear its telling of all the magic still inside all the time left waiting for the years it had in store and all the love left anticipating the promise of so much more. If I were wrecked you wouldn’t find me you wouldn’t think to explore the meadows and if I were unearthed well then you would miss me you would be far too busy searching another sea somewhere else You will never know what is breaking as these doors slowly close so many hours lost in hoping have now quietly buried my soul its a step that’s never taken a moment of dawn that never comes a sleeping dream that never wakens to feel the life of the newly rising sun And if I were here you wouldn’t find me you would not look for me in the orchards you wouldn’t think of where I waited you would search for me no place else and if I were rescued you would misplace me you would be out on safari looking for my shadow in the fields My last goodbye wouldn’t linger my last smile would finish my kiss you would not her me say how much I loved her to the sad and burning emptiness.
