Some said her dreams
were black and white
and never ending.
She swore he gazed into the same sunrise
every morning, her pillow cold;
echoes whispering love
through mountains, unsettled
and tears formed a river
where reflections met in song.
Catch my sun, he called
in enchanting chime of bell
and she walked on steps
silhouette fading
as footsteps followed petal.
Some whispered in corners
of one who watched stars
and painted love with her pen
as they choked on reality.
See her pass you by now;
heart, softly held in his hands
glimmer in her eyes,
and borrow the sparkle
to shed some light
in that dark hole you call
reality.

"Some whispered in corners
of one who watched stars
and painted love with her pen
as they choked on reality.
See her pass you by now;
heart, softly held in his hands
glimmer in her eyes,"Those lines really stood out for me, because it is so often the case that there is what my friend Julie calls "a coven" whose bile and bitterness, envy and judgmentalism will evermore leave them scorning and criticising the dreamer, the open-hearted one, the one with a soul, because they fear and in a perverse way even secretly may revere her, but the disdain taints that reverence with their jealousy and resentment from not being able to live their lives in the same way. Or so I have found. The dreamer will keep her heart on sleeve or in hand, she will feel the rain wash down over her and not curse being stuck in the shower with a dodgy umbrella, she will want to dance in that shower instead. She will go forth, into days, into life, living not merely existing, while those who mock and revile her will always be held back by the shades of doubt within them.
Great piece Lynda!

Absolutely marvellous, delightfully composed even the tears and sorrow are beautiful the way you paint them with allure and compasion and not like bland wares for sale on sidewalks the exposure of emotional wounds and gief is subtle , soft and sophisticated yet honest.Thanks for sharing and take care...

As her words echo upon a page they read with guilt of disblief, watching as her eyes glow with a reality they could never imagine. This Poem you have penned Sis still shows the magic that lay behind your heart. you are blessed with the gift of poetry and may this ever reamain so. The poem is Awesome and well deserves in my opinion to be in a book. all my best wishes Brian.

I feel better now, too. This is lovely, Angel Girl. Ahhh, but you need not buy a stairway to heaven, my Friend...for you've already earned it. Good luck in Jin's contest, Sweetie.
