Perhaps, I’ll escape to a place <br />Where you love me still <br />A land of rolling hills <br />And sweet dew kissed strawberries <br />The home of lovers lost <br />Reunited in this dreamland <br />A place of truth and love <br />Free to be with you <br />Oh, bliss it would be <br />But, evermore I’m jolted <br />Back to reality <br />The harsh brutal beast <br />Wild fur standing on end <br />A menacing growl <br />Pierces my ears <br />It’s white dripping teeth <br />Sink into my heart <br />A searing pain <br />You don’t love me <br />I trespass on lawns <br />Choking for moisture <br />What my eyes see <br />It’s horror I never <br />Want to see again <br />Across the asphalt <br />Nestled in the grass <br />You and her <br />Arms winding like vines <br />Tightening your hold <br />Drinking in each other <br />Burning my eyes <br />I turn away <br />It’s too much to bear <br />A weight pushing <br />On my shoulders <br />Brings me to my knees <br />Salty tears nourish <br />The wilting grass <br />Beneath me <br />I’m pregnant with <br />Anguished fury <br />My fists pound <br />The innocent lawn <br />Crushing <br />The thirsty blades <br />An eerie calm <br />Overtakes me <br />A warm hand <br />On my shoulder <br />I look up <br />Through tear filled eyes <br />An illusion greets me <br />It’s you <br />Did I run away again <br />To the place of dreams <br />Where lovers lost <br />Meet again <br />Bound by no rules <br />Forever to love <br />And be loved <br />Among fields of <br />Sweet dew kissed <br />strawberries<br /><br />Jennifer Sol<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sweet-dew-kissed-strawberries/
