[hometext] => With a heavy heart and tear-streaked eyes I slowly open my fist and there, in the middle of my palm rested the last dream I held
[bodytext] => -------____________--------------- As time goes by I’ve found myself gripping my life tighter and tighter clinching my dreams in the palm of my hand protecting them from the winds that howl around me Like grains of sand they slip through my fingertips first one then another then another each of them crawling out of my tight embrace before finding a trail of wind and floating into distant oblivion I feel my fist of dreams get lighter and lighter I watch my smiles and hopes get carried off in the breeze and I smell the vapour of a thousand broken promises drifting away it’s as if the grains of my life are marching marching away to the meter of a quickening clock Hours pass like minutes minutes pass like seconds and soon my hand feels empty so hollow and betrayed With a heavy heart and tear-streaked eyes I slowly open my fist and there, in the middle of my palm rested the last dream I held It was an unimportant, meaningless dream forgotten so long ago With it’s brothers and sisters all gone it seemed so petty and trite like a shadow of a faded image or a memory of a an ideal long discarded I had no choice but to let it fall and watch it float like a leaf to the ground All that I can do is hope someone will see it there and take it up as their own or that some lost heart will catch one of my countless dreams as they’re blown away by the winds that howl around me [comments] => 1 [counter] => 314 [topic] => 48 [informant] => MajesticPoet [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
