Shattered Dreaming

Was dreaming on the edge of time Serenity in my lucid dreaming Dancing along that milky way You came along to pull me away I see your body language seeping It's resonating all the way through Romance in reflections of a storm A rose grows in the barren desert You came along and plucked it All because you could not resist Couldn't leave it in all its splendor Had to have it for your own Angel lifted you from darkness Is that not the words you said Wasn't there a promise of trust Calling my name from your grave Waking me from my astral dreams Angel lifting the dark veil you said Did you not say I was beauty personified Talked more of the spirit, lesser of the skin Soothing words you whispered in my ear We're all but empty sermon's from lips I can't see you for the tears now Wanted me full in the moment touch me ~ leave me unbroken Or touch me not ~I begged of you Even my doubts and fears were divine Stop looking past me, I'm right here Angelic script was all but left behind The world-win dance you took me on Would not be any other way you said Falling apart at the seams is what I am February 19th, 2012

The skill in your piece is apparent, but apart from the story, what speaks to me is the raw emotion you bled onto a blank document. There's a genuine "ache" about your words that jump from the piece yet managed to be deeply hidden in the words you chose to use. It's like reading something heartbreaking and finding a different sorrow by attempting to read between the lines of what you did not actually share with your words. In other words, it's thought provoking because of the "real" of the piece. If what you could describe implies and paints a tragedy, I can only imagine the true horror of the experience during the time this was written. This is absolutely beautiful, and I thank you for sharing your words and personal experience with us all. I'll be sure to read more of your work! Excellent job expressing yourself.

In solemn truth our focus lyes. Till someone comes and off it fly's. To turn the page of a new book. Till once again, that solemn look.
