Pipe Dreams .... A Sedoka

Rusty and discarded they lie
Where once they glistened with Ambitious Hope
Bound by gossamer webs of the Past.
Shells that no longer hold
The gushing force of raison d’être
Now forgotten and old ..someone's pipe dreams.

RAVAGED

She

bloomed sure and eager

sunkissed and confident, brimming with

tender lofty dreams of Tomorrow .

He

watched dark and lecherous

arrogant and conceited , unmindful of her

tender lofty dreams of Tomorrow .

She

stood ravaged and devastated

riddled and torn , rot curling edges of her

tender lofty dreams of Tomorrow .

He

forgot and moved on

Oblivious and uncaring , as withered petals of her

tender lofty dreams of Tomorrow .
