BROKEN DREAMS
Posted on April 14, 2008
He was living far away,
thinking of her every day,
however, the distance was
separating them-they were not able
to see each other every day.
His heart longing for the love
she was always in his thoughts
only letters that he wrote
saying…I love you
Put a smile on her face.
She was a queen in his eyes
and in his dreams too.
Someone very special,
He loved her dearly
they could not be together.
He said “I love you…always will “,
her heart was in a rage of directions.
She was unable to join him
for the life journey in togetherness.
The future they planned
Was it a dream, a ‘wish upon a star’?
Filled with emptiness in his heart
what has left perhaps… a beach?
His favourite place, a Sanctuary,
a Solace for his past time-
Where he loved to draw
a picture of her in the sand
with a shape of a beautiful heart.
Waves washed it all away.
Only the breeze listened to his sigh.
A tear trickled down on his face
missing her smile;
His dreams not fulfilled-
Left him sad and heart broken.
