dreams spin in her head,
fantasies, come and go,
imagination running wild,
saving  her
from permanent despair,

legs stay shackled,
holding her down,
from flying free,

stuck in ancient "i do's"
signatures in blood,
of forever more,
drowning in guilt,
not wanting to  break
motherhood's saintlihood,
fear of the poverty in solititude,

salvation comes,
each trimester,
under the crescent moon,
by treelined rooms with a view,
3 star hotels,
5 hours of the dream
he gives her, over and over,
wishing she could die in his arms,
right there and then,

her soul stays hungry tho,
even he's not enough anymore,
so she waits,
stuck for now
between what was,
and what may be,

and if you even care,
this is something,
about her

I liked the way you wrote this poem. Even though, it was sad to me, it was written very, very well.

This was fantastic.

Very real, very unforgiving and honest, what it is, take it or leave it, but have a bit of feeling, too.

Thank you, poet.

I had to read this twice to get my understanding of it.  Once I finished the second time I was hit with just how good it is.  I lived that way for a very long time.  Beautifully written!

I think you have a hit with this poem. It has touched many a nerve. Feeling need to be released and you have a unique way of doing that. Well done!
