The Other Side of Reality....Cleave Form
This is three separate poems, that when put together (and read left to right ) make one.
1. 2. 3.
Once upon My fairytale There began
a time when my heart and his nightmare, dreadful and horrid,
was carefree and gay sailing together a journey, sailing
sweet and innocent on different ships through a crystal mist
Life was good and for a while two souls drifted on
lifting in song a story spun full of promise
a fantasy that fell sugary ripe and whole and
was dripping from my lips succulent
like honey. When stormy days In torrential rains
Then he sailed in on broken sails clinging to life
and stole my heart, our two ships weathering the storm
our destinies did collide with solid resolve
Now linked together His nightmare blind with fear
as his wild rages ripped my fantasy plunging into darkness
shattered and broke apart, before gasping and smashing
the glass bubble my very eyes stinging with rage
But through it all Love saved us both as the clouds parted
Our love rang true and on that magic day the seas calmed on
the dawning day when sun shone down again
we made it through the gale beaten but not broken
safe and sound, together on a dingy with faith renewed
Two as one, together now hand in hand I stand with you
into our sunset. we sail reborn
On the other side
of reality
from our fears
we're both set free
