LIFE
Life came riding in on a slippery tongue
glistening with tantalizing lips.
Promising golden highways-
Where there would be no harm or sorrow.
That!
Was the glittering promise I was told.
With eyes blinded by the light-
Life stole the words that slipped from my heart
Words that would slide down to my willing fingertips
and
capture the world of fantasy.
Now my words are hidden from mankind
and
from this lowly author with a timid soul.
Life, as I gaze from my window, is once again
tapping, tapping.
Smiling with tantalizing lips.

Wow....this is candidly written. It's good to read something new of yours.
"Life came riding in on a slippery tongue

Powerful words that echoes the hearts longing for truths. We know that life is not like this, but we are told to believe in fantasy...in fable. To later get disappointed when it does not happen that way. I still dream though, but I keep reality in perspective at all times.
