Love Poem

You touched my hand in the rain
and told fine fairy tales.

(lies and ghosts of lies)

Each burning night
was followed
by cool torment
of showers in afternoon.

(you said you were the one)

From the brown murky shadows
of my most foretelling dream
you haunted, made me think forever.

(stories for credulous children)

In the end I was left with

Only me.

Today I will climb up on my rooftop
in the glory of a spring morning.
Free of who I thought you were,
I will bind my heart to nature's truth

And dance.

This is a Sunday Scribblings post.

How much sadness and love there are in the posts for "Honest" this week!
It is a hard lesson to learn that in the end there is only you and you must eventually dance alone. A beautiful poem.

I like the uplifting ending and pray I won't have to go through the beginning.

Since I've gotten private emails about this, I guess I should clarify that it's not based on anything that's happened to me in more than 20 years. Some people and experiences remain a rich source of material year after year, though.

Those lies that have been told over and over again.

I'm so happy for the comfort in the end.
