faded with child-like dreams
of utopian exsistance
something's slipped away in the dark
a secret innocence
a gentle kiss
your tender smile
and in it's stead a jaded heart
reigns over a wasteland kingdom
of should-haves and not-dones
all bowing in humble obeisance
to the reticent supreme queen
unwillingly crowned by a defeated nation
and all the while lingering
just overhead
just out of reach
that elusive something
that causes hearts to shed
tears of real blood
and kingdoms to crumble
with a puff of wind

Sounds like more than a puff of wind to me. Loved it though and through..especially where you left it in the end.

that elusive something lies in a puff of wind...and in your pen...

Heather, I like...
