Poem Title:
Poem
Part 1 Fading glimpses of pained memories of the past, Scarred a child and the tissues of a heart, So many dreams, sadly I was never asked, Loneliness and I co-exist, we're never far apart. Memories encrypted in words and subtle verse, Reserved for shadows in the loneliness and cold, Glimpses of memories waiting to converse, So many dreams I dreamt, now no dreams to be told. I wished life's dreams had descended from up above, I wished my world and the skies would one day open up, I hoped more than anything that I was offered love, To sip sweet nectar from someone else's overflowing cup. To fill my thoughts with another's treasured past, To feel the emotion of love and of never being hurt, To never know the shame of a life that had been cast, A pain inflicted a broken heart did not deserve. Part 2 I am a flower that weeps in clouded dreams, I am a rainbow that nobody has ever seen, I am the sun, in radiance I beam, I am but a heartbeat lost within a dream. I am a butterfly who dances with the skies, I am the last rose of summer, before she dies, I am an angel without gaining his first wings, I am the bird of paradise that soars but never sings. I am the forgotten love who is carried by the breeze, I am the handkerchief who captures every sneeze, I am the violin when a sad lament is played I am the crescendo when tears decide to stay. I am the kiss just moments from your lips, I am the ebony and ivory touched by finger tips, I am a shadow that has only one thing left to lose, A life of dreaming what else is their to choose ? I am the sorrow that sleeps on window panes, I am the collector of other people's shames, I am the noose tied around my own heart, An unloved child lost from the start. Life's written script is coming to a close, It's sadly not the one I chose, For nothing in my world is ever what it seems, When you spend your life chasing someone else's dreams.
