Dreams on Suspension~

It seems as though you've left me

again

between dream state and reality

Suspended in emotions that drain

every breath from my body

wanting...needing change

finding void, the abyss of unspoken words

The tears fill the desert of dried up wishes

drowning me in thoughts of what could have been

or...mostly what never was

the hope is the cloud above..shining light on

a broken soul...a cold heart

heavy in sorrow...light in hope

Mysteries unfold

as my finger reaches out to touch

to feel...to absorb the light left behind

in the wake of the flood

I ask only

that it sear me into life

stealing me away from the

cries of death

that haunt me

Here where my dreams

are on suspension

[The Cobra Lounge]

I like how you ended this poem with no period. It means you are still in suspension "your work" in this state of purgatory is not finished yet. But some day...with or without him...you must leave this place. Promise me you will not remain there forever?

Too right, what was the question again?

Lol.. life in general ;)

[Eloha]

This reminds me somehow, of how women let men influence them greatly. Of course it's beautiful but also speaks of how we sometimes give our power away. That's how I interpreted it at least.

[Lily Mae]

Thank you..xo :)
