Fantasy World

WOW is all that I can say. That poem that I had been planning on submitting to the contest shifted completely and the one that came out amazed me. So since I like to amaze not only me but others, here it is. I call it Fantasy World. I'm sure some of you will relate. And please do not think I am wallowing in the emotions that this poem evokes. It is a release for me and the words sustain me.

Blessings on this beautiful day.

Once more a mantle of sadness has descended upon me
More words with little meaning tugging at my heartstrings
I so wanted to believe those idle comments of yours
Pulling me
Urging me to believe that this time
For sure this time
It is real. You mean all of what you say

The words, the sentiments springing forth from those lips
The lips that I long to kiss
The face that I love to touch
The strong arms that I held on to
The same arms that held me in their loving embrace
For it is love that I feel from you
It is love that you show me with your eyes
With your lips
With all of your body

The laughter that we shared as we danced around my living room
The way we become like children
Sharing in some wonderful fantasy world
Our world
Our playground
Our love

I wish to remain immersed in that space
But then you are gone and I am alone
Until you return down the road knowing
I will open my arms once more
Open my heart
Give to you all my Love for it is YOU that I love

I hear your voice and my heart sings
I see your face and all the hurt seems to magically dissolve
This time I want to believe it will be different
This time you will mean what you say
This time you will love me for more than just those few short hours
This time you will stay forever
But it is not to be

A mantle of sadness has once more descended upon me
