Hollow Laughter

[soulfir3]

Did you ever ,
kiss the air
in hope of what might still be
and held,
closely those long lost
memories
of pearls and diamond dreams
that twinkle and glitter
bring a wishful sigh

Did you ever,
hold your breath
wondered for that
brief moment
if it was , all worth it
feel the tears
fall hot and seer
the beating heart,
soft pulse of the soul

Did you ever,
make a wish
upon an empty sky
needing only the dreams
too return,
another whispered thought

Did you ever ,
feel me fade away
needing all , but what we had
filling quiet moments
with hollow laughter
as the fear of silence
suffocates,
that which once made us whole

Thank you for your comments

If I ever allowed myself to cry,
I would surely drown
in my own tears.

If it did not hurt so much to breathe,
I may be tempted inhale more deeply
And feel the explosion of self will,
Inside myself.. exploring my new ability
Faith of light, instead of fear of shadows
Where footprints, are that of an Elder,
Showing me home..
Not of the demons, who have roamed,
For this lifetime, within my soul

Did you ever? Oh, did I ever...Did I ever...This poem struck me like thunder...A wee bit artistically to close to my near reality...*t-he*...Poignant in it's universality...Fabulous
S'firic offerings, lady!

And profound Sharonic gem you left as well, Sammy...Short, and to the point beautiful...

So, how's about some more, ladies? Sabrina

I was once the opal
rare and unique
a treasure you held,
under your protective sheeth
Now disregarded
and updated for something new
a new toy for her..
a new plaything for you
where all is, not as it seems
and I am still here,
waiting along-side the phone
and watching..
in willful silence,
the shadows that play by the door

hugs you tightly
beutiful but so sad writes babe
here for you always
love lilly
