~*~

Dedicated to the drama
of living happily ever after
acknowledging the flaws
with a passion and promise
brought upon by a character role
created by the nature of you.

Drawing me in
with every chapter
holding me captive
pouring through the happiness
giving birth to my smile
enlightening my vision, born in you.

You gave me something to believe in
without make believing
something to feel
passing through my fingertips
where love lasted a little longer
watered down with tears.

A slow story unfolding, sadly
another turn of the page
as I burrowed deeper into the fantasy
of something more or less
marking me intensely
that had no meaning after all.

Realizing, as I reached the ending
each chapter started to wane
leafing through the wander lust
that took me back to the beginning
completing the closure
highlighting the thrill of it all.

Regretfully,
I lay you down to rest on the highest shelf
behind a trap door on a wall that I've built
leading faraway from my heart
so I can keep you close
without crying a river all over again.

Lori...Your honesty captures what happens to so many, without the admit of it..so sad the circle that sometimes spins in and out and gone.  Very impressed here!

Take a bow, kiss the mirror, and pat yourself on the back for me!

Writing poetry helps keep it all in perspective, to a point.
~just talking to myself, it's my coping mechanism~     
in case you ever wondered.   uh huh.

I've never told you all enough, how happy I am to be keeping company with you...Kathleen, Ethel, Martie, Linda,  and you too blondie...thank you.

Now I shall go kiss the mirror!
Hugs you guys and dolls.

And this blondie says if the walls works for you keep building it higher - now Sigmund Frued might argue with me but what did he ever know of love anyway

Most of those books are tired stories,
but they're still worth saving, just in case.  
Thank you for chirping in tweets.

It's debatable for sure....
and there's no telling when it will come tumbling down.  
Until then, I just keep on building, after all, it's my job.     

Thanks Mysteria.

I'm not here often enough to tell you how much I enjoy your poetry.  I can relate particularly to this one.  No wall can be built to withstand the storm of truth but the storm passes overhead when bending ones head to the ground ... and don't we all have to look where we are going?
