In your dreams

0 posted 2012-05-17 12:37 PM


Regret


Amidst the country air
Trains that pass here and there
You made me feel despair

I was caught in your snare:
Harsh words I could not bare
Tangled with tender care

My heart, you didn't spare
With your soft country flair
and your dark stone cold stare

I had dreamed of somewhere,
Something I could compare
To this endless nightmare

But in the end I did love you
and I was left ever your due

so well expressed, pain don't go easy and regrets occupy our lives with some obscurancy (for myself it has been a very long time, a lost time), thanks juju for the touching and delicate poem,

Ah, old story with a fresh outlook from your intriguing pen. What looks so promising in the beginning all too often becomes that nightmare you spoke of. Painful write.

"I was caught in your snare:

Hope  you are doing well, it is nice to see you here.

Excellent writing.
Love the flow from loving emotion to frustrated and sad emotion.

"Harsh words I could not bare
Tangled with tender care"

Love those lines, makes me think of some of the meaning to Sade's "Smooth Operator."

You know, you look a bit like Tori Amos.
