Reality Bites

Acrostic

Roaming darkened hallways

Ever searching for your trace

As midnight falls, my dear, oh will I see your face?

Love sent by harvest moonlight

In brilliant rays doth call

Time, the enemy, stands still

You, into my arms do fall.

 

Bound by love, yet worlds apart

Is fate's ironic twist

To unseen arms I pledge my heart

Ever will he be missed.

Still in my dreams we've kissed.

"Still in my dreams we've kissed."
This is a really touching poem for me. The distance that comes between us, sometimes physically, sometimes otherwise, really bites. Thank goodness for dreams.

[Adrian K. Smith]

There is something in the way reality bites us in the tush at times, falling in love with those we may never meet or perhaps those we may never meet again. It is difficult, because it is not a day to day face that we see - other than in our memories or in our fantasies. Yet, the feelings are no less real - the pain no less real - that longing no less real - and thus, reality...bites.

A great piece. Very well written. Thanks for sharing.

I really like how the title in this piece says it all.. regarding the actual meaning being projected,
in contrast the poem is a romantic breeze, your words have a nice structure that lends itself in

design, the way detailed words form images like harvest moonlight, drifting in eternity the light
held within a lover' eyes, the way you bring to surface love and its, magical- emotional impact

on the heart, the opening sentence creates a place and time, and transports the reader, walking
hallways is a clever analogy, the metaphorical nature is powerfully invented, great acrostic design.
Take Care, Mike

If I'm interpreting this correctly, then I'll say that there must a lot of hearts in this world that yearn for another. A desire that goes unfulfilled, more often than not.
