DREAM/REALITY

dream





that we would have laughter and happiness





reality





now we only have tempers and egos





dream





that we would live life as partners





reality





just seperate lives sharing a space





dream





that we would have a place of our own





reality





ghosts haunt every room





dream





we would talk of our thougts and feelings





reality





now only cross words and silence





dream





life would work out for us





reality





the eight ball might say..... ask again later





dream





that I had finally found a real true love and soul mate





reality





ops....my bad

Renee, The very stark contrast and the simple language of this poem make it very raw and emotional. Thanks for sharing this one; it's obviously very painful and personal, and I hope you find a way to find a balance so your dream and your reality are one and the same.

I still believe in the dream and want it to become reality. How do we put our pride on the back burner and let our souls communicate what they know to be true of one another? Can we soar above all the pettiness and look at the true love we have for one another that seems to get trampled by foolish pride. I sure hope so. YOur goldeneagle forever if you'll have me
