I wake from dreams that rarely quench the emptiness inside. Unsparingly, they come to me, from them I try to hide. The story lines always speak of truth I used to know. Memories of used-to-be's I desperately want to go. 'Tis not 'til sleep these thoughts creep in to plague my broken heart. So tenderly, this place in me where since I've come apart. And once again I wake from dreams that rarely quench the emptiness inside. I must confess, in sleeplessness, when awake, I feel I've died. |

Nicely done...brief but effective, and your recapitulation serves well to showcase the recurrence of this dream state you're sharing.  Claire |

Roniece and Denise~ Thanks to both of you. It's very flattering to know that someone tunes into your writings, with much understanding. Denise, one of the first comments you made to me a while back was that sometimes the most beautiful writings come from the saddest experiences. So true...as I find the bittersweet poetry to be most delicious right now. Thanks again! "The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet, we do not treat ourselves nor another thus tenderly." ~Henry David Thoreau |
