~LIFE'S IRONY~ Imagine being trapped in life where beauty grows in soul but not in body as she gladly gives to others, making many smile with her charm, filling friends and family with encouraging words but, all she seems to receive is emptiness and pain, she is the first to cradle the wounds of other's hearts filling them with hope, she writes love poetry lives for romance, attends weddings and celebrates their joy, while her heart bleeds never to be loved destined to be alone, many say that her soul is pure and lovely but the shell that she dwells in is broken and more ugly than anything ever seen, only those who pity her say that she is attractive, but, she knows the sad truth that can never be changed, how cruel it is for God to allow her to dream of embracing happiness someday to marry and have children, when she will never hold such beautiful dreams for, the good are not always rewarded as it should be note the irony *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Oh Melissa this broke my heart. No one should ever give up on the dream of love. It's a gift for us one and all. Juls |

Melissa~ You touch this tenderly. Sometimes when we continue reaching out to others someone will someday reach out to us ... It happens when it's least expected and then the joy is found and all the pain is erased in a sigh from another heart. Sometimes we look for 'happy' only to discover that someone else is looking for it too ... and they find it in us. Sad, but a message that needs to be shared. Love ya' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Sometimes, someone can reach for a dream to find that the dream only exists in their heart. More often, it's our own fears that stop us reaching out because we think there's nothing there for us to touch. Experience has taught us that we are in a cage, and we don't expect to walk free. Love is all around, we just need to open our minds to it, and we will feel it. This poem is so very well penned and beautiful to read, take care Marsha |

As it should be to protect of unwanted dreams that seem so enticing maybe. Dreams for the beautiful of heart ride many storms sometimes but never find their true love when they want to but WHEN THEY FINALLY DO....then there are rainbows in the midnight sky. Patience and trust in the maker will see you through. |

Melissa, this one cuts deep very deep and I can relate to it well... I once had a similar outlok on life, I felt like life's little punching bag at times, but love and friendships appear in the most unlikely places..trust me on that...have faith. Huge hug. powerful piece. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |
