Love Poem: Lost Symmetry

Lost Symmetry

Between dreams, memories and realities
there remains in life no symmetry

Dreams have their place in time, space and poetry
sending the soul soaring to the heights
and depths of boundless emotions with
knights in shining armor and true loves bliss

Memories, often bittersweet to the soul, explode
without warning, their scattered pieces 
caught up in time’s mind-stripping whirlwinds 
soon carried off to the land of Forgotten Abyss

Reality, the wakened state of living one’s life,
in the here and now, with eyes wide open to what is,
what’s been and what probably will or not be
as hope falters and the soul wonders what’s amiss

Yes, dreams have their place, lost love memories tease 
and reality becomes the sworn enemy
