[hometext] => This poem was written for a rose in the desert. (07-11-07)
[bodytext] => Let me paint you a picture Tell you a tale Of a beatiful, exquisete, addiction To a world turned so dark and pale Its the story of a traveler That had been running to long When I least expected I stumbled upon I'm not to sure 'cause it was to dark to see Don't know if I found her Or if she found me But days were like night Amidst the cold and the rain We met in a puddle of light She was a portrait of pain At home in the cold With a smile pulled tight She had found comfort in rain and solace in night I could see she'd been abandoned By the one she needed the most Could see where others had tried But you can't compete with a ghost With a halo that was broken She soothed my demons inside For a while we walked Down that road side by side A couple wrong turns More than one bad decision The road became tainted Hard to envision Those eyes still have that sparkle If you know where to look Its just hidden somewhere inside Like a phrase in a book Beneath a brow of confusion Above a smile of hope Appear clear as the sky Yet stay bleary with dope Then with a clash Of the storm A flash in the sky She's gone, I'm gone, We're wondering why Smilin' inside Suppressing a sigh Now often I wonder How did her saga unfold That weary traveler With her tale still untold Wish for an answer A reason to why But I still haven't seen her Since that last flash in the sky Now my travels are many My expectations are few Just like her " I'm just passing thru " J.D.Spillers [comments] => 2 [counter] => 188 [topic] => 39 [informant] => 12gaugedream [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Grief )
