Ragged dreams

by phillip bligh - Leo

These are the ragged edges of dreams
loose threads that flap in 
the unforgiving winds of reality.

"Oh love!" sings the radio in hospitable 
melodic tones, that flow evenly aloft
a cool summer breeze.

"Please don't leave me!" she cries in
a harsh painful release, with only
red bricks  to echo her reproach.

Love is our dream, our friend
our enemy ,our savior, and our damnation.

It paints lifes blood on the world
a lovely miral of a deep red rose.

of who's blood has been spent
we pay with our lives to 
the loss which is our gain.

The beauty of the rose is
unmeasurable, the prick of
it's thorns run deep.
Through this wound our
souls' connect. Holding scared remnants 
even after we part.

So our love
is far beyond the 
dreamers reach 
that minds hand feels
for, but is not there.

Hope of beauty.
promise of Pain.   

Reason for writing:

    love is bitersweet.
