Petiole

How does it feel when you thought you could

Stand strong in the wind…

Be suited for this livelihood

Be the star of this movie, so well dreamed.

 

If only I could.

 

Life shows us who we really are

Eventually.

Whether the narrator, whether the star

We chase it breathlessly.

 

Wishing for one more decadent bite.

 

So give me a squeeze before you let me go

My broken lover…

There’s so much that my heart wanted to show.

But now it’s a treasure for someone else to discover.

 

I’ve hidden it well.

How wise and thoughtful you are Ana, you have expressed something magnificent... The poem starts with a thought of how we all dream, even if don't know what will happen to them, and your ending of the poem was superb... Without dreams there is no hope no life... So we chase them as you have said until we breathe our last breath.... Beautiful Ana...

Sincerely

Thank you for the amazing review Dhiman :)

We find our "truths" aren't always as we dreamed but then again if we never reach we can't ever touch ...anything... except our self-imposed limits.

and we never know the meaning of weakness and strength until we become strong through our weaknesses.

It was good to hear your "voice" again, missed it.

Thank you Chris, i must admit, i've let my voice be silent for a while. Hope life is treating you well.

Life, as always, continues to "happen". People come and go, Ya make do as you have to.

i just don't have the same dream you do---i need a co-star who will mesh better with me...one who will finish my lines if i forget them...one who will be the supporting actor when i need that...one who will share equal billing...
you dream of yourself...i dream of an "us"---

wonderful piece.
