All my life I had a dream
   about what it would be like
   in 10 or 20 years down the road

This is not at all what I envisioned
   I could ever end up in this position
   at this time, in this situation

The vision that dwells within my mind
   is completely different than reality
   they are actually polar opposites

My dream was colored by hope
   and happiness chose the bright shades
   that would paint the scenery

I used to be filled with such promise
   he would be the one for me
   nothing could ever come between us

We would share the most intimate moments
   I would tell him my hopes, my dreams,
   my fears and he would keep me safe

There would only be days filled with laughter
   tender moments for us alone
   saying what we feel, celebrating our love

Instead the dream has faded
   reality has tarnished the beautiful scenes
   blackness is everywhere

Awesome poem, Lone wolf.  I think maybe we all had (or have) this magickal vision of what our lives will be like "some day"... unfortunately, it just never seems to end up that way... sigh... but you never know, huh?

LoneWolf,

  We all have had dreams shattered. some more than others. It is so hard to move on after your dreams fade, but hope must remain to dream again.  I hope you still have hope within, it will blossom soon.

 The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

You have done a great job of writing about the uncertainties that life has to offer.
Theres no predicting what turn our lives will take and you have penned that idea so well with this verse.
Nice work.
~~~thanks for the e-mail~~~

Nice writing but somehow it appears you are living the wrong dream.   James

It's sad I had those similar dreams too, but no matter how we try we cannot make them a reality if they were not meant to be..
Great work!!

Hope,tears,renewal....thank you, but I cannot give up on that dream just yet.  You never know....

Daniel....I do have hope to dream again or is it still?  I guess I want it with one who is not sure of me right now.  Have to try. Thank you for the kind words.

just_another_fe....all we have is hope.  It is up to us what we do with it.

Danny....thank you and you never know what will happen next I guess.  You are welcome for the mail....thank you for the reply!!  

James....just can't believe it is wrong...

Isis....I know in my heart it is meant to be and I will not give up until I have breathed my last.

Irish Rose....thank you.  How thoughtful and touching.  I can only hope.
