Poem Artwork


 

I awoke thus,

After a dream just,

Perching on a branch,

Quite carte blanche…

 

Then came the pain,

Spasms in my leg,

Was it real, or was I still dreaming,

Either way I felt I was expected to be screaming…

 

Such beauty was that dream,

I had found my niche,

Light was I, giddy like a kid,

Satisfied was an inside itch…

 

Then again the pain,

Was I not supposed to feel beauty,

Am I not allowed to feel love,

It came into my dream,

And told me to die, that being my only to the world, duty…

This is quite good...I sometimes woke with tears running and a deep pain that sorta makes my whole day blue!!

Love can be nasty to the heart!!

Such beauty to wake up with a pain? Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder right enough. As a Scot I awoke from an incredibly realistically painful dream: I had found a dollar but just as I was wakening I sensed I was losing it. The dollar evaporated before my very eyes as I stared in speechless horror at my unfolding hand - gone. The pain, phew, it doesn't bear speaking about - where's the bottle?
