I saw the happiness of love
Painted in the irises under her brow
And I wondered if this was real or a dream---
This moment the morning sun caught my soul weeping….

Still, I felt that warm feeling in my heart
Even as I lifted my feet and saw them---
Trampled and drowning in blind love,
The many eyes of beautiful flowers,
That once admired me for my passion and words…

But now I see a look of contempt
As blood drips onto their awaiting tongues,
From thorns that pierced the truth from my past;
And from the ground I heard a faint chorus of chuckles,
Secretly knowing this to be neither dream nor real,
As I look into the mirror...
...Only to see sorrow smile…

Powerful emotions Keith.
Such weight in the heart, but the passing of clouds I think.
Well done.
