The Real Dream

And reality

may arrive as a steel rose:



perfect but cold and calculating

and fingers shall shun the sterile touch

and hopeful eyes shall long

to fondle the velvet

of the fragrant

Memory



awaiting the tenderness

of nesting

in the warm waters

of the fetal Future

in the fertility

of reality's Pureness:



the real Dream

Welcome back Myra, you have been gone from post poems for so long... We have been waiting here for you to bring some of those beautiful poetry back on this site - The real dream is a steel rose i agree, rose=beauty, steel=strenght and purity. What is missing is the fragrance and the velvity feel of the rose, which was posted somewhere else.
Now that you have return will you bring that fragrance and velvit feeling with you?
