Tarnished Dreams of love

by Keith D Allison

From point A
to point B.
from love
to hate
from hate
to love

Oh the clouds
the clouds of reality
sorrow drifting
in… drifting out
sky is gray
giving way

Dreams
cast in the perfect wave
hope set forth

Dreams
of a home
the glistening new car
the dream of a woman's or a man love

The perfect breast oh the fantasy
like to dance upon the sky
a house a car
two minds two hearts
all imperfect
like the world in need of repair

Casted all
into the forge red glow
flawed
a woman, a man blemished
no perfect beauty to be found

The dream of a woman
of a man
together
dances in the discolored labor of love

That the children might have a song
