Unlived dreams

by ♥gloriaËšs~glen♥   Mar 26, 2006


The words swirl golden
thick, rich, like molasses
from a pale blue Ball jar
poetry in deep amber
distilled life

Promise shadowed
by the barrier that keeps it
inside enticing, inviting
tightly held inside

the vessel of my mind
holds my soul captive
the world only sees
through the glass darkly
admiring but afraid

to open is to see
voluptuous thought expressed
gentle, warm, sweet
pungent, embracing
the hidden places where
hearts roam free
unfettered
unseen
protected

please do not let
my voice stay silent
please taste
from the pale blue Ball jar
do not leave it
pristine
on the shelf of
unlived dreams
