Bombarded, not with dreams on the clouds of fantasy
Invaded, not by pure escaping thoughts to misty mountain paths
My mind the battleground, echoes with the here and now

I close my eyes to disappear, to run into the dark
To fall into a sea of blue, to swim the depths of mystery
Yet the hand of reality reaches out, pulls me back
Envelopes and shakes me, brings me crashing to myself

Behind the mantle clock, the letters stacked unanswered
Notes as reminders of tasks to do today
Tick off the list, too much for such little time
Minutes waste into hours if you watch the world go by

The telephone rips the silence, more issues to attend
Errands, like demons,leap up from all around
Wheels turning in the wrong direction, steering me away
The pen now craves the ordered, not the creative mind

Forgive me now, I have to leave
The army of the day to day has vanquished imagination
So simply I end.Poem interrupted [comments] => 9 [counter] => 294 [topic] => 21 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 9 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )
Poem Interrupted

Topic: Lifepoems



My quiet sanctuary, where my inner self reflects on life
Bombarded, not with dreams on the clouds of fantasy
Invaded, not by pure escaping thoughts to misty mountain paths
My mind the battleground, echoes with the here and now

I close my eyes to disappear, to run into the dark
To fall into a sea of blue, to swim the depths of mystery
Yet the hand of reality reaches out, pulls me back
Envelopes and shakes me, brings me crashing to myself

Behind the mantle clock, the letters stacked unanswered
Notes as reminders of tasks to do today
Tick off the list, too much for such little time
Minutes waste into hours if you watch the world go by

The telephone rips the silence, more issues to attend
Errands, like demons,leap up from all around
Wheels turning in the wrong direction, steering me away
The pen now craves the ordered, not the creative mind

Forgive me now, I have to leave
The army of the day to day has vanquished imagination
So simply I end.Poem interrupted

Steve is so nice to be able to read your fine poetry again, even tho it is interrupted so! Do you ever hear from our dear friend? I write her, but there is never a return. The next time you speak with her, tell her I miss her please. And in the meantime let me enjoy your beautiful thought provoking poetry once again!
Warm love
Lovingcritters
