A DREAM COME UNTRUE
A golden orb in the night sky
A golden creature with multiple limbs
And dreams of a beautiful talking lioness
Golden in hue, as she sings
Your beauty doth beguile me so
As your soft voice quietens my heart
What is my problem? I do not know
Other than the pain, when we're apart
Yet the seed of self doubt
Has reared it's complicated head
All self belief is vanquished
To the sea of the unborn dead.
A golden creature with multiple limbs
And dreams of a beautiful talking lioness
Golden in hue, as she sings
Your beauty doth beguile me so
As your soft voice quietens my heart
What is my problem? I do not know
Other than the pain, when we're apart
Yet the seed of self doubt
Has reared it's complicated head
All self belief is vanquished
To the sea of the unborn dead.

I somehow find beauty in melancholic writing. There's a sad fairytale woven between the lines. A poem to revisit many times Jem.

Jem, this passage rings so true to me:
"Yet the seed of self doubt
Has reared it's complicated head "
As one who has suffered from, at times, debilitating self-doubt
Brava!

thanks gahddess_worship, I think some of my self doubt, evolves from my sensitivity, and maybe picking up vibes from the other persons doubt? life is certainly confusing! Jem
