[hometext] => The loss of a loved one and the reflection granted in fantasy painted this tragic poem.
[bodytext] => I silently wish to take her back, as her face burns right through my soul I will have her, beauty of only a dream may I know her phantom maiden or realities mistake, either do I take blinking eye, second guess the fantasy Tumbling down of logic, the vines cover my face stone face the dream comes again Face of a god, a dream, a life, all as one A question found and an answer to life lost, she complicates this reality complex little beauty, wound up in my mind Or is she real, is this world all a lie and what I see in secret the only truth her hair flickers as a dying flame, the night becons an effort to take her now do I dare take what is mine, her heart my stepping stone a sacrifice of mentality to bloom blood rose and die or a giving of soul and bring life to what I know to be Would I give my eternity for a second with you, the answer swells within me no life would I rather have than a life where yours is one with mine sweet phantom, dark illusion, ghost of a person long since gone This world, she could not sustain Her heart, her soul, too frail from the struggle Yet beauty and vitality so firm I would give all I have, all I could to pluck from fates cruel hand the whisper, the dancing esteem that I wage this life so readily upon No sacrifice too small, no pitfall too deep to challenge for this turning of destiny- darkness, light one in the same all to set free her frame, her soul from captivity spring [comments] => 2 [counter] => 194 [topic] => 39 [informant] => Maxximus [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
