I dared to dream once,of the magic of stars and dancing shadows in the moon lit night.The infamous regale steed carrying the man of my dreams, only to awaken and all take flight.The joy of my miss spent youth is but a fading memory now. It leaves me with a hollow heart and dwindling spirit who wishes for death.Daydreams of hope over taken by disappointment as reality of my self made loneliness revels in my tears.Shut up in my four walled world safe from mankind's cruelty,let them derive pleasure else where as I barricade my heart.Ill keep what little joy that lingers and dream of the fictional should have,could have been's.

Very trutful and sad poem With each experience of deception it's present risk of withrowing from outside world,escaping in dream land that gives some much need realife ...but reality is also what we make of it. We can't change whole world,we can only change ourselves so lets give ourselves chance to experience outside world in seeing more beauty around,met people alike us which heart and soul crys for the same thing;a bit of affection,understanding...and if we don't give ourselves chance we never know what we miss outside our 4 corners
This sister is a sad but excellent poem u have written, the reader must and does feel your pain, may God give you his peace and joy in the new day, thank u for sharing, J

Joseph thank you for reading my poem, most of my poetry has a dark side but dosen't necessarily reflect my mood
A very realistic dream mimzy...I guess as sad as it may seem, its a fact that we all sooner or later experience in life. My only consolation is that of having those memories I can recall to warm my heart again and again for as long as I live and the ability or courage to dream. Awesome reflective write my dear lady...
Keep them coming Mimzy, Spill out that sad stuff, Good poem...... Mick.

yes they can be....thank you Kathey for your comment
My dearest lovely friend. Take care. It is so sad when after a euphoric meeting of the minds and heart it dies down to nothingness.
But I am sure, it will change my dear and I love you M.

Just lovely Cameal. I love the optimistic ending. Hope is what keeps us going and faith is the unwavering expectation of something though not yet beheld. Hope all is well and its nice to see you posting again my friend.
