[hometext] => A poem about missed opportunities and fear of making a leap into the unknown.We all have those sometimes
[bodytext] => He stood at the edge of the garden Such a beautiful, enchanted place Blossom rained like pink snow, veiled the dew on rolling lawns In the tallest tree sweet blackbird song Beckoned with a soothing call Would he push open the gate and enter there ? Or stay in his world, too scared to fall. For many days he had witnessed her walking Down the gravel path in her dress of white linen Spray from the fountain fine mist that danced through red curls of her hair He wanted to call out but his voice had been stolen His own eyes the weapon of torture to his heart The sting of longing, desire still unbroken Legs heavy with fear, too scared to fall For a seond she lingered Head bowed to take in the scent of a rose Soft red lips fell into a wonderous smile Blue eyes shone mystical light to the depths of his soul Peace and tranquility wrapped him in their arms While doubt steadfast held her ground, refusing his passage He remained on the outside, too scared to fall This day, as the ones that had passed before Midday sun retreated to the long shadows of evening One last look back, turning to the journey home Heart carried heavily like a rock, unnoticed he would slip away Peacock calls carried in the still evening air, fanfare for his goodbye She watched him now at the edge of the woods, gripped by sadness pining for his return A sigh, a tear from the bluest eyes, like him too scared to fall [comments] => 9 [counter] => 269 [topic] => 32 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 25 [ratings] => 5 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

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. ©
