Shattered Dreams

Often when I am troubled I turn to my blog and my poetic muse to work though life's complexities. Today I am very lonely and missing Mark with all my heart. This my love is for you!

Shattered Dreams

Oh 'tis the hours before the dawn

That are the hardest on my heart...

I lay awake and talk to the shadow

Of the woman I once was...

Only now she lays on a shelf

Collecting dust or drowns

Herself deep in the pool

Of her own salty tears -

And shattered, a broken mirror

Lays idle reflecting  on yesteryear.

Dreams we made, some we shared

Others never to come to be, alone

I must sit and ponder to eternity,

For no other man could reach my soul -

I, your mate until the end of time!

No matter how hard one might tug

At my heart strings they belong

Only to you my love, 'tis you I hold -

Locked within my heart to whom

Only I bear my soul... shed my tears...

The muse escapes me days on end

Without you here or near.

I battle bouts of depression -

Anxiety rises to dangerous peaks,

And the mountain's cliff beckons...

Not time though, not desperate enough!

Content I'll hold on to our memories,

None more precious than our first kiss -

Our first dance of love through the night;

Endless romancing, once sparks, now embers...

Dreams at times consume me day or night,

And I hold you, caress away your pain,

Your worries set aside, I, your wife abide.

My Faith in God and Thee, for all eternity

I shall hold you close and never let you go.

My white knight, you rescued me, loved me -

Held me in your arms and sang our love song...

Anon yonder the morning dove warbles.

Sweet melodies warm the heart of his love,

Like an angel sent to me from above...

Shattered shards of broken glass strewn 

Across the floor, I drop to my knees

And hold back the misty tear eyed dew

That dances on my lashes, and flows

Like a river, tumbling down my cheeks

And wets my lips as if you kissed me...

I but the shallow remains of the beauty you beheld...

I care not to look within  the looking glass -

'Tis broken and no remedy known to mankind

Will repair this broken shattered heart - I can only dream.
