I fell in love with a dream,
and then I woke up.
It felt like a gut punch.
I wanted so badly for
the dream to be real,
but it wasn't.

The antonym for
dream is
reality.
And the reality
was
that she could
never love me
like I loved her.
Here is a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry.

You gonna come back
One day
And I won’t make the same mistakes

In our lives we leave traces
Of ourselves
Our being
Our lives

It might be our clothes
Our smile
Our touch or laugh
Our face
We leave traces

It might be our perfume
Or cologne
The way we walk
Or leave a room
We leave traces of ourselves
Through the people we touch
The people we meet and know
Our family and friends

The stranger we smiled at
The child we helped
We leave traces
There are vapors of us
Always

Where parallels collide  
one wallowing
in the wind
one slipping from the sun
suffering in vain
swarms over the eclipse
where love
survives over pain
butterfly and moth
are best
left alone
flying in the rain.
Today I saw a butterfly.
flying in the rain
what an inspiration
a miracle me thinks?

#swarms over the eclipse
