Poem Commentary

I wrote this poem in 99, reflecting on an abusive relationship with the first boy I ever loved, oh so many years ago.  Its one of my most favorite poems and I have even put it to music, which pleases me greatly as that is something I've always wanted to do!  I hope my readers enjoy it!  Blessings and love to you all

Dreamer

I don't know when I dreamed it
I dreamed so long ago
but some how through the course of time
it wedged within my soul
can you feel it little angel
like the buzzing of the bees
like the rippling of the oak trees
as the breese rips through her leaves

It was on your face that morning
though never truly there
when I looked into your eyes
and I was lost winin your stare
was it wrong to love you
with a love that longed to reach
or to touch you with my loving hands
that longed to let you teach

I know not how you held me close
but never held me near
or let my dreams be whispered 
just to fall on your deaf ears
or how you kissed me deeply 
yet you never felt my soul
or the flames that burned within me
from my dreams, the hottest coal

I know when I awoke
when my eyes were opened wide
with the truth of your deception
ripped my dreams from my insides
in your arms I was a prisoner
a willing slave forced to comply
a show for you to laugh at
as my sould just fell and died

My heart passed through your fingers
a trinket on your hand
when all the while I'd trusted
only you to understand
try to feel it, fallen angel
the song of Heaven's keys
like a whisper from the Heavens 
like the rippling of the seas

Could I have dreamed a miracle
and let you lock it in my soul
grasped the wonders of the universe
and not have been made whole
could you have closed my eyes to it
and shut the music out
now the angels sing so beautifully
and teh dream....the dream is not shut out

I forgot that I wanted to give credit where credit is due and share that the beautiful painting that I use for this piece of poetry was done by the very talented, Eric Gardner, whom I went to high school with. He has traveled and lived abroad and he is currently back in the states,residing in south central, PA.

Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
