Sweet Reverie

and you

with your easy style, carefree laugh - so contagious

a dream come true

fantasies fulfilled

for every girl

and maybe boy,

let's not get technical here.

kindness exudes from your happy heart

they all gather 'round

inching ever closer

without a clue,

all needing to know

if for them, this could be possible

happy every afters

tugging.

visions of forever

intoxicating.

and yet

they wait.

the words they long to hear seldom caress your luscious lips,

a hint, perhaps

they read to find a nugget there

a hidden phrase 

for the one who can recognize

find of key

oh! sweet reverie

such shallow shrills of insincerity

life's lessons cut to the very core and more

eternity's blessing

sometimes worse,

we who've crawled through blood and fears

we know

ah yes, we know...

that imaginary person, almost like Jesus when he walked among us...if that really happened.
They all wanted to hear him, be him...
so perfect....but we humans, not so much...we do crawl through blood and fears...
and we shed many tears...the happy ever afters are fought for hard...and seldom come true.
we are immersed in real life....no paradise, no pristine picture of existence.
This poem is so deep...so impressive in its scope.

The subject of this offering seems to be one of that species of narcissists who use their looks and charm to rack up as many pubic scalps as possible. They recognize neediness in others, know exactly what to say to lure the unwary into the sack. Then they dump them to go in search of new victims. In time they get their comeuppance, but not before they've broken many a heart. They should be regarded only as learning experiences and then forgotten.

Indeed...although sometimes one may merely being friendly and kind without sharing specifics and those on the receiving side may be reading into the responses more than is actually there.'

Thank you for stopping by. I will be by soon.

I really enjoyed that, this was an exquisite piece that really draws the reader in and holds on till the very end. Not to mentioned the truth you have delivered.
