Tess Norton Poet Rhyme

Ether Dreams

Ether Dreams

Chasing all my dreams
Hoping they’ll come true
Watching them unravel
Evaporating like morning dew

Like a lacy web between two worlds
So fragile and suspended 
Buffeted by gales of fate
Pulling ‘til it can’t be mended

A battle rages in me
My heart and head at odds
I wanted to reflect with joy
Upon the path that we both trod

To fight these losing skirmishes
When your postures are competing
Is like death by a thousand cuts
Leaving you broken, rough, and bleeding

Poet Tacito January 21, 2014 at 12:53 AM Tess, this is my 1st time reading your work, nice to meet you! Your title captured me quickly. I have been down this poignant path you established in this writing. That 2nd stanza, deeply impacting! Tess Norton January 21, 2014 at 4:19 PM Drake, nice to meet you, thanks for the welcome! Thanks also for the good thoughts about my work. Many of my poems are autobiographical - sometimes it makes for the best writing. I look forward to reading your work!
