Asleep In a Waking Reality

by Rona   Dec 30, 2006


As I sat by my window,
I looked outside,
Stars twinkled in the night's dark canvas.
My thoughts slowly filled the night air,
I had so much kept inside.
Irretrievable memories were gathered in a haze.
Everlasting expressions were lost.
But deep dark secrets remained.
I wondered why all precious moments,
Kept safe, kept hidden,
Were lifted involuntarily from my restless soul.
Only those harsh realities linger inside.
The pain inflicted within me,
Left a burning sensation,
A lasting misery.
I now realize, those tender liberties,
Were only a facade,
A dream in a waking reality.

    This poem is a realy great idea.. but i dont really understand the whole rhyming scheme... unless its not supposed to rhyme in that case.. the lines that do rhyme should be changed bc its hard to tell
