Dreaming of things to be <br />Fancies of the future <br />Spendidly brilliant <br />A dreamer's paradise <br />Fences painted so beautifully white <br />Doves would turn green <br />As green as the immaculate lawn <br />An ocean of grass <br />Children playing, <br />'Ready or not, HERE I COME! ' <br />Playful screams as little people run amidst the greenery <br />8. Painfully beautiful. Little curls spill into a lovely frame <br />3. Terrible toddler with an innocent grin. <br />Others flittering around as feisty, perfect pixies <br />A single canine keeps watch; off to the side <br />Following their rambunctiousness with a keen interest <br />Majestic, as a lion king statue fixed in the front of a comfortable home <br />White pillars greet guests like the parthenon <br />Inside. <br />Inspiring artwork <br />Intriguing room decor <br />Amazing architecture <br />A home fit for a king <br />The queen takes care of all that need her <br />Children entertained <br />Guests welcomed <br />Food cooked <br />Everything as it should be <br />Clock strikes 6 pm <br />The queen looks to the door expectantly <br />But she knows there is no one that comes home to her <br />No one with whom to share her dreams, her passions, her fears <br />She is the product of complete independence <br />Her life-a by-product <br />And while she has money and other amenities to to comfort her life <br />Who is there to comfort and complement her soul?<br /><br />miesha devres<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shattered-dreams-behind-white-picket-fences/
