TEXAS (it's all big)

The world is turned upon its end
My broken dreams on whirling wind
And left without a loving friend
All for something called “pretend”

Prismatic waves of wakeful bliss
Each ray so new I almost miss
The true importance known of this
I close my eyes and feel your kiss

The static sun will pierce my skin
Each pore, receptive, lets you in
My mask was always somewhat thin
Would not your pretence be akin?

We dance entwined both soft and slow
In words and feelings love will grow
In heart where two will come to know
The waltz of love on God’s plateau

Our cards are filled in destined dance
Still in youth and born our chance
To take upon a lover’s stance
And fall upon the sunbeam’s trance

The sunbeam scatters on the shield
Our fates divide yet they are sealed
On guard our passion not revealed
But free, our heart, a bounty’s yield

The world is something we don’t share
I’ll ride the wind to meet you there
For in our hearts we bleed despair
Let droplets show we’ll always care

OMG!   Walt, this is just...well..its..beautiful, breathtaking, delicate, strong. I LOVE it! I hope you are well as I see you writing less and less, and when you do, its often more serious. Still, its beautiful and you do it all very well. ((HUGS))

Nicely done.  Love the prismatic and static uses!  Sunbeam scatters, nicely painted picture. This is quite smooth, period.

For some reason when I read this I'm in a car and it's raining down the windshield and I'm thinking about someone I love.  I picture this poem being created in those circumstances.  I'm probably way off, but the fact that this came to me...it's a good thing!  

Much love for this one.

I like this one a lot, walt... There is sadness and there's yearning... but other stanzas ring with hope... all the ups and downs of a relationship are woven into your words. Well done!
