Broken Dreams

Broken Dreams

Once upon a time
when you were my lover
we used to live in our world
of magical fantasy with
new experiences to discover

Fearless and free
We sailed the seven seas
Swimming in oceans
Enduring blizzards
And climbing trees

Our dreams were endless
and energy unbounded
A magical pair
Living in enchantment
Any negativity unfounded

Was it then prophetic
that you went away?
You became my former lover
Our lives modified
No longer here to stay

I fascinated you no longer
The spell was broken
In a New York minute
My hopes and wishes dashed
Another word never spoken

    Ah! How things change ‘in a New York minute’! It is so difficult to get over it. Poignantly portrayed.

        it is Christine and we have to weather that storm, through words and healing poetry just like what you have created here so beautifully

    I absolutely love the phrase ‘In a New York minute’. So descriptive and so evocative!

      Thank you! It just seemed more appropriate than “in a heartbeat” 🙂
