One night in a dream
I find myself
Calling out to a lost and lonely girl
Who I somehow know is searching
But for what?
I feel the pain of this girl
And it rips my heart in two
To see this child aching for love

Her eyes lack the sparkle that most childrens display
Her lips miss that smile
Her life lacks something
Something so significant
That loosing it has made her loose hope, loose strength, loose spirit
And I realize this girl looks all too familiar
And I know exactly what she is looking for...

*If the only place I can live my dreams is in my sleep, then I'll sleep forever!*

I know this one girl that has something missing in her life as well and by reading this poem it made me think of her. Nice work on this poem.


Give her two red roses, each with a note. The first note says "For the woman I love" and the second, "For my best friend."

I've really liked the last couple of poems that you've posted, you've been doing some really excellent work.  keep posting your poetry.

Sometimes, the things that go unsaid are the only things worth hearing.

I enjoyed this. Very good poem.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

I have a tendency to write from outside looking in, that is, not from my perspective.  I think that will answer your question.

Loose = Not tight-fitting or tightly fitted
Lose = To come to be deprived of the ownership, care, or control of (something one has had), as by negligence, accident, or theft.

I was pretty sure you made a spelling error, but there's no real way in my mind to be sure... it's the nature of poetry.     Maybe clear this up a bit?  

Onto the poem, I really liked the sense of a sorrowful, distraught child that you made here.  It's very sad, excellent job.

Sorry Allan.  You had to correct 2 of my poems.  I just like that extra "o" I guess.  LOL.  Ill fix it later.
