“Teach me to fly on wings of desire It is only with your touch I am free” How caught up in this simple dance I always seemed to be Asking a lover, a friend, a handsome stranger To take me on a journey I’ve not been before And when it seemed the ride would be over I always tried to hold on for a little bit more Chasing the light and life out of those around me Never quite happy when the song does end I wanted to dance outside of the music I needed to lean on someone to help me pretend Life was disappointing to such as dreamer as I I needed excitement and mystery and such Never quite happy with secure and quiet feelings I needed to feel the passionate touch I lost so many who were in their own ways Wonderful, passionate, caring, strong men All because they stopped evoking my desire I’d leave them behind and blame it on them And then one day I awoke sad and alone How on earth could this be? I’d fought so hard from being ordinary Why is there no one left to love me? I looked behind at the lists of those used Hearts had been broken and I never cared I suddenly fought off the urge to call them Try to relive some of the memories we shared For the face in the mirror was no longer youthful It was tired and wrinkled and so so old I chased away all of my young years Leaving in the end no one left to hold So to all of you out there who say you are dreamers Remember from slumber you’ll someday awake Take care to touch lightly for hearts can be broken And life is often of it what we make. (Fiction in a poem…or is it??!!) Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

it could be fiction, but the ending result, the premise of the statement, that is truer than true...life IS what one makes it. Wait, I was the one left...that was not my choice! Oh, how I respond, that is...how I grow from it, that is, the sweetening of the lemons, that's what counts in the end. |
