Theatrical Attraction

Curtains drawn drawing me in past trinkets left as mementoes reaching for stars and moments filled with honeydew kisses keepsakes kept inside Sugared apple blossom scents fill the void nowhere left to hide scarlet petals wrapped in wonder float atop the steamy waters of a long lost one act play Reflection of sated imperfection staring into an open invitation robes dropped but fearing a cold shoulder a twist of fate a simple smile can sedate Pockets full of daisies held the journey into futures untold whispers in the breeze putting a worried mind at ease reliving a childhood dream

Thank you for allowing us to join you in this beautiful dream, Tim. The poem recalls the works of the British Romantic Period when some of the best poetry was written. Excellent!

Dreams are like wrapped presents, you have to open each one to see what's inside. Top notch, as usual, Tim:)

I love it when the little girls wear them in their hair. My oldest daughter wore them for her first communion ...I will have to make sure my youngest does for hers. She just started Religious ed in September...thanks Charmu
