..!Pretty Poems?..

Pretty poems, like colourful crayons

In the eyes of a child; escaping ~

The realities of it all....

These words, these fantasies; these vapours?!

In this world as we know it

A place of risen dust....

Always returning unto its emptiness

That can never be filled, with pretty poems!?

Pretty flowers and before you know it

Their illusion, has withered away....

And still your left, with another day 

A day in the valley of sorrows void 

Of happiness; unless?!

Happiness is what you count as a breath

And then you gasp; choking upon the truth

The truth, the truth of it all....

Pretty poems, pretty, pretty; “Reality”

These words, these dreams, these fantasies ~

Pretty, if never could you see; pretty poems

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How pretty, can they be!?
