Glass Slipper

Missing image



Hope;  reduced to cinders long gone cold,
ashes of forgotten dreams swept away
banished from a pleading heart,

Stars in my eyes,once bright, now emit no light,
my dismal existence spins in limbo
and no chariot awaits my escape,

Love became all but a fantasy
striving to find that one miniscule spark
lost among the debris of dying embers,

Faith fled to spheres of make-believe
where wishes didn't seem so fragile,
a place.. for a time.. to forget the world

It was there, among reverent ambiance
the voyage of two lost souls collide
shining an aura of compassion,

And though
I never wanted you to see me cry,
Your touch comforts me
rekindling love's light~

    This is my favorite part. I remember a time when my dreams weren't so fragile either...like GLASS SLIPPERS. Thank you for the thoughts and the poem.

    They say crying is good for the soul, but so is smiling and love. This is intended to have that desire and want in it and at the same time gives you the warmth of love...you make me feel it C
