Letters to Dandelion

by Xve

  essence and they will become a version of you.

  You are the original beauty, as everything in this

  world was created by some Man, who was in love,

  and wanted to provide a better life for his Woman.

  You are all the things we want, and can’t create.

  And, there is still some one walking on the face

  of the planet, who will crush his own guts to be

  with you.

  You are everything this writer wants and sometimes

  can’t have.

  And if you ever think that no one loves you,

  or

  no one wants you.

  Call me.

  STORY

  Evening shade has dawned over the earth. Yet one

  such soul has not noticed. Weary in his travels, sore in his

  muscles, cloudy in his mind, but full of one objective in

  his heart. He presses on.

  He has walked many miles to stand on the edge of

  realizing his goals, and yet the struggle seemed short. But

  in his mind he had already agreed at no cost would he lose

  his true love; for every step he took brought him closer and

  ever closer. The hunger of his passion fueling his body at

  times where there was little or no effort left to point the

  direction.

  Sometimes a fond memory became his only friend in

  times of need, or a recollection of a sworn promise that to

  him, steel, would shatter easier than mere spoken words.

  With this in our traveler’s mind, he laughs about the

  past, engages the present, and boldly chases his future.

  And then, one day ….

  A plain little bird, with a bright yellow bill,

  sang a charming mellow tune from atop my window sill.

  Within my surroundings, the music seemed to fill,

  as I woke to the sound,

  and noticed my world around.

  The walls which were always, a touch-tinge of grey,

  appeared much lighter and luminescently brighter,

  this mystical magical day.

  The clouds that normally loomed, above my ickety-rickety bed,

  faded to obscurity from the song flowing inside my head.

  My eyes what tend to stick closed on most dreary days?

  Could not appear wider, when taking in the sun’s rays.

  The bird chirped and peeped; hopped about on its tiny feet.

  Circled and looked about – then all things, repeat.

  I moved closer, as not to startle, but to simply observe,

  My new found friend, this interesting bird who of my respect

  is well deserved.

  This harbinger of song, this bringer of happiness and peace

  of which her influence, I hoped would not cease.

  Of course it was new,

  Of course it was different,

  Of course I want this to last,

  Who wouldn’t?

  She was strange at first,

  She was definitely different.

  I became so attached to her beauty and magnificence.

  It was just at that moment, when I had thought this all through,

  I stretched out my hand, in total hopes of holding you.

  And then, she flew – long and far away.

  Never to ever see her again, even to this day.

  Returning me to an even darker world than previously before.

  And nothing has been the same ever since.

  When I sleep, I dream …

  And she’s always there.

  Perfect little Blonde, with

  pink streaks in her hair.

  But, the perfection of what

  I speak , is of how we’ve seemed

  to grow.

  To where she loves me too,

  And we’re all to the other that

  we know.

  Yea, she spunky, and she’s funny,

  and she’s two bottles of Alleve a night

  for all the headaches and trouble.

  She’s so sexy, and perplexing, and

  keeps me on my toes.

  She reaches for me, she kisses me,

  She hugs me oh so closely.

  She loves me – She’s not afraid,

  not under pressure or under

  any spell.

  She walks with me, holds my hand,

  kisses me with her beautiful lips.

  She allows me to love her, and

  when we’re together, the world

  comes to a complete stop.

  We have agreement,

  We have trust,

  We play, we reach for the

  other.

  We curl up together –

  We peacably sleep –

  And have fun when we eat,

  because she’s my other, better

  half who I can’t live without.

  She mirrors who I am.

  She believes in our abilities.

  And we go forward and grow,

  because to each other, we’re

  all that we know.

  But when I wake up –

  She’s gone.

  And I have to face the day alone.

  Reality becomes one, as I realize

  I’m alone, and the only thing that

  loved me the night before,

  were the wrinkles in the sheets.

  SAYONARA SONNET

  Adieu,

  To you.

  Please don’t spoil my view, of the

  tears that drip from my heart.

  We once were one, now two

  and now that we are through,

  I’m off to make a brand new start.

  A tainted, shaded hue, that cloud that

  spoiled my view has gave to skies of

  electric blue,

  And now I stand, one step smart.

  The pain inside, has died to numb.

  I agree, I was the one so dumb,

  to ever tell you close to my heart.

  Epilogue

  If I were struck blind and could not see what made me smile,

  I would still know it was her.

  My ears would hear her voice whisper,

  my nose would receive her scent,

  my hands would identify he curves,

  my lips would seal to hers as they have done so a million times before.

  But, if I could not see her,

  or hear her,

  or smell her,

  - If I lost my arms to hold her

  - and my tongue to taste her

  - or my skin to feel her perfect presence pressed against what I once was,

  Then I am dead.

  But, I lived a greater life than many,

  being given such a gift that not just any could have had.

  And I cherish it unto my soul.
