I could have never imagined a love like ours
I could have never imagined the feel
Of losing myself so completely in the passengers seat
Letting you take the steering wheel
I could have never imagined the heartbreak
I could have never imagined the pain
Of losing my breath when I thought of you
Couldn’t bear even saying your name
I could have never imagined talking to you again
I was determined to be self-fulfilled
I settled for half of a sunshine
Half of a heart was all I could yield
But perhaps that’s because we grow up
And our imaginations go dim
We sink to the demise of reality
Instead of ripping it apart at the hem
My imagination brought me solely here
To a world full of all my dreams
Bright with color, majestic sounds
Where dancing abounds,
And the most gorgeous flowers bloom year round
My soul has ceased to frown
When your powerful wave washes over me
I could have never imagined that I’d
Swim, not drown
For now I carry you in my heart
It’s a hell of an imagination, I agree
But you fit there perfectly
In my (imagination’s chosen) untainted memories
This life I love and the peace in my soul
May not always win the war
Reality is a fierce competitor, yet to it I shut the door
I shut my eyes and my own world begins to rise
With it, the brightest sun
My world is what I make it
And my imagination has won.
Allison, Both of your poems
Allison,
Both of your poems are very well written, but this one is has a more positive light despite what you may have been through. And good for you for sitting in the passenger seat and trusting someone else to drive .. maybe it will be such a smooth ride you won't even need a seatbelt.
