Cold

Distant and faraway

In the summer sunshine

Of her mind

She hears the warm whispers

Of her unfulfilled life

 

Lying in the meadow of her dreams

Daffodils encompass her senses

Her heart rises

On the shoulders of love

She could not share

 

The sunshine feels like

A cherub’s gentle kiss

On her cheek

 

He nudges her

But she won’t wake

 

No, Never

He carries her in his arms

And places her

Gently

On the nail-bed of reality

 

Her eyes feel heavy

From a burden

Placed on them

 

She forces them to open

And she shivers

 

Golden sunlight

Streams through the windows

But hearts remain

Impenetrable

 

Her once warm heart

Begins to harden

From the artificial sunlight

That feels cold

And leaves the longing

For the gentle kiss

Of her dreams
