Dream Taker



Bitter silence whispers melancholy;
smashing proficiently
against stained glass soul

breaching interior fold of sighs,
motivating a gasp of reflection
of what… once was

you consumed me
clouding confusions with hopes
patiently waiting upon pressed words
that never came

only rippling waves remain
shadowed
in crisp heartache
relentlessly looming
unconsciously returning
in muse

beckoning for conclusion
for any ounce of pretense dignity

I’ve professed my heart
to illusive dreams

but never again~

shall I wander
in shade

    A really sad tale of broken heart and dreams of love passed. Wonderfully written - but then would I expect different from a favourite poetess?

    It is easy to see why this piece claimed the highest honour.Even I as a lover of rhyme can see the beauty of your words.I have to say i do not think that a rhymed piece could hope to compete with this Excellent
