If I lend thee rose colored glasses
That it could change the view
Or pledge within an honest feel
That a heart would grow anew
If I scatter in the winds that blow
Perchance more fair to rise
Distrusting what just has to be
That heart shrinks one full size
If I kept my sacred secrets
Then the riches would be mine
And pretend I feel nothing
Tell you everything is fine
If I wrap this up as nothing
More at ease that you would say
Then the trust that is between us
Like the tide to wash away
Yet all I am is ocean
Not the mirror or the glass
Not a mystic spell or potion
That can let this love just pass
Born to be the waterfall
Letting all the torrents spill
Having no one take your proper place
While you take your stand in chill
Or bathe me in au fait moon
Harbored in the waves that come
If I leave to thee the keys to dreams
Yet the door keeps from the sun

I'm glad you reposted this here...I missed it before. As always I am amazed by the competence of your poetry and the emotive and lyric quality.

Loved it then Kathleen...love it even more with this read.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Isn't it funny, Kathleen; I use to think that I saw all quite clearly, but only chose to not speak of the ill around me; then people said "you wear rose colored glasses" as if I had been skirting honesty by not speaking ALL of my thoughts...

but I'm thinking I like the way you've put it.

Thank you, dear, for sharing so much of yourself with us.
