It Was Real

You thought what we had was incidental
Why couldn’t you understand
Not a by product of a chance encounter
Why couldn’t you understand
We didn’t have to have lights flashing
Cymbals and drums exploding in the air
The earth moving as we stood still
Why couldn’t you understand
Why couldn’t you understand
What we had was real

    A very real topic, crowned with Silver ...

    and well deserved of the applaud. Reading this, the word real became connected to its meaning again ... No fantasy can replace or define it.

    Congratulations, Jo-Ann!

    Love
    Myra

    What an excellent ending, as your poem moves through the self-revelation that you know, and the other one did not know the true meaning of love. A great take on the prompt, thank you so much.

      My friend I know exactly what yo uare saying. I think we've all been through something like this one time or another. They say if it don't kill you it will make you strong well let me tell you I must have muscles on my muscles on places I don't even want muscles. LOL Dear friend if we don't laugh about it we will surely cry and no tears will I bring to 2009 theres probably enough waiting to catch up with me already (smile) Happy New Year and God Bless, Jo-Ann
