he sits in the window illuminated by moonlight writing his life his heart his soul his life is without love but yet the words he writes are who he is who he was who he longs to be he still believes in the dream one he hopes comes true and so he writes he sings he speaks but in a jaded world he is an outcast he is called a fake a phony a user his heart bears the scars of loves lost long ago and yet he goes on he still dreams he still tries his soul bears the wounds of judgements made of him and of the friends lost the loves lost the life lost and yet, still he writes because it is all he knows it is really who he is what he is this he is and so here he sits alone writing the dreams of his heart longing to be accepted to be respected to be loved in a world where dreams are daily shattered where lives are daily broken he still dares to follow his dream to follow his heart to follow his soul ----------------------------------------------------------- < !signature--> That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl [This message has been edited by Sven (edited 08-31-2000).] |

I believe this is not a dream, but the real thing here Sven. Very honest and sincere. I hope that some day, your dreams come true for you . . . I really do. Wonderful writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Sven...... This is so beautifully written and sincere. It's description seems to fit a lot of us, regardless of gender! Wonderful..... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |

Sven~ The writings from your heart will never be stilled ... and that's how it should be. Follow the dream and you'll find your heart resting in the heart of one who seeks the same dream. As always ... I enjoy your passion for writing from your heart. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

John...I enjoyed this much, as I have so many of your poems. As long as you continue to write, I will continue to read. This was one of the most heartfelt and sincere that I have read from you, and I mean that, without any ambiguities or innuendo. Peace. |
