Do I Still Dream

Do I Still Dream

dreams !
do i still dream?
not without tears in my big brown watered eyes
not without a blindside heavy blacked heart
and not without thinking I've lost
the best years of my life
that I never had

what a waste of time
to cry over time that
has been stolen

but it is my time
and
I soak the time away
in my own tears of
lost unknown could
have been moments

and I push it back
and it pushes up over
my cracked
soul
moving up over my head
inching slowly
seconds by slow second
stretching over my pined shoulders
on its way to crushing my chest
with all my freaked out fears
till I'm caved over in some
out in out mind dance
and tears are raining
all over my feet
that if my chest wasn't in the way!

and I thing
what the hell
I am great
at least in my
could have been dreams

and maybe someday
someone will know
it too

maybe it will someday be you

Verlecia, I've read a few of your poems and it makes me wonder. Is there someone or something that writes the destinies of humans? Every story always seems to include elements of light and darkness (Star Wars). You write with great emotion, thanks!
