A womans heart is an ocean of secrets, simply an ocean of dreams
I am a woman who trails her fingers through heavens golden seams
A woman whose lips once parted with simplicity & ease
Whose hair would shine & rise above, at every comming breeze
A woman whose eyes once glistened like the sea after a storm
Whose hands were inviting & to a small child seemed warm
Yet even though her lips still part, it leaves her bewildered, oftened perplexed
& as her hair gets lost in the wind, it becomes tangled & vexed
Eyes that once sparkled against the sea, now becomes the storm that raged
& hands that chased the rain, bear troubles where a war was waged
Then tell me its just one more day in paradise for me . . .for me
Tell me -so that maybe I'll have a reason to laugh- & we'll agree to disagree
Im fearless yet petrified, & though Im iridecent,  Im dreary
My head is held as high as it can go, & yet Im weary
Ive risked my dreams for what I thought I could complete
So many hours, of so much pain; I only ended in defeat
This is not about you anymore, love; Your a coward & I must confess,
That in losing myself  -I found myself-  So, you see . . .True Love happens less & less
Ive wasted countless writtings & hours of words to what I thought I knew
& that unjustice, that unraveling of my heart -now- only ends with you;
I was told once "The first sigh of love is the last of wisdom" It just hits me now
That Im just a young girl who needs to be needed; dont ask me how
But if you have the courage to love, you have the courage to suffer, yet the courage Ive found
But I want to find a  Love . . . virtuous, melodious, absolute, deep & profound
Then this is my serinity, my salvation on life,  -on love-   take it for what you will
Know that my dream is not forgotten, give me just a day,  just a night to be fulfilled


For in much wisdom is much grief
& he who increases knowledge
    increases sorrow...
                  Eccl. 1:18

Simply astonishing. Extremely creative style.
And personally, I truly hope and pray after that offering that you do, indeed find what you want, need and simply deserve. Beautiful, wonderful.

Wow. The format itself is like the violent waves of the ocean. Great stuff! (and y' used "dreary" and it worked!)
