Fool Without A Face  I'm tired of kissing the frog lips of dreams to find that prince charming is not who he seems and stars cannot be pulled from the sky the 'someday, somehow' of a wishing well always drowns dry, and I'm tired of writing soulmate poetry every time, it bleeds the very heart of me, still, I need it, I crave the fantasy, you see, the hope won't let go of me... a glutton for sorrow aching for what I cannot embrace ...weak and used up... a fool without a face There is no twinkle in my eyes no spark to light my smile no self-love 'neath this disguise, no safe-keep, no plan B...all the while happiness stares right through me as the rush of romance eludes me and there is no beauty in deluded reverie, "my one constant, my other half," these are things that can never be Yes, it's true through scream of blue I've nothing to live for, shut out, left in the cold from a lock on heaven's door and, I dare not knock for, the tick-tock of my clock has run out of batteries and hands to hold, my scrapbook of memories decays to mold Still, I dream of what I cannot embrace a crippled shell of strain... a fool without a face, and, this charade carries on no one sees who I am I'm their puppet, their pawn, naked and vulnerable, unable to hold on Dear God, don't let it be that into this world I entered crying, a soul without a name no beginning, no end... that I exit the same By Melissa P.

OH MY, amazing poem, so touching, and so exactly as I feel. But you will have your day, it is coming, he is there. Never give up that he is there, somewhere. And no one is a fool for wanting love. I have to save this poem!! Sandra |

This is wonderful and, like many others I'm sure, I can totally relate. I'm still waiting too. So, if you meet Prince Charming...see if he has a brother. |

Melissa....I am amazed that you could write this.. It reaches very deeply into the soul and that last stanza is one of the most thought-out pieces of writing I have seen. It's like you grew from a little kid to a woman before my eyes with this one poem. Needless to say, I am impressed..  |

The depth of this, the anguish seen though hope is felt to lift from dream a sincerity that right shall be found to lift this fantasy to higher ground... Well done, Melybee... |

Dear God, don't let it be that into this world I entered crying, a soul without a name no beginning, no end... that I exit the same ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I pray you find the peace that passes all understanding. May your world turn into a lifetime of hope and joy, both in this life and the hereafter, for this is my prayer for you. Hugs, Deb |

*sigh* this poem spoke to me in ways I try hard not to even see. All these feelings I have known and now I hide myself behind the mask of romance and do no longer have the hope I once did. A masterpiece of emotions. Thank you. Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |
