Imagination.

 

 

I could have never imagined a love like ours

I could have never imagined the feel

Of losing myself so completely in the passengers seat

Letting you take the steering wheel

 

I could have never imagined the heartbreak

I could have never imagined the pain

Of losing my breath when I thought of you

Couldn’t bear even saying your name

 

I could have never imagined talking to you again

I was determined to be self-fulfilled

I settled for half of a sunshine

Half of a heart was all I could yield

 

But perhaps that’s because we grow up

And our imaginations go dim

We sink to the demise of reality

Instead of ripping it apart at the hem

 

My imagination brought me solely here

To a world full of all my dreams

Bright with color, majestic sounds

Where dancing abounds,

And the most gorgeous flowers bloom year round

 

My soul has ceased to frown

When your powerful wave washes over me

I could have never imagined that I’d

Swim, not drown

 

For now I carry you in my heart

It’s a hell of an imagination, I agree

But you fit there perfectly

In my (imagination’s chosen) untainted memories

 

This life I love and the peace in my soul

May not always win the war

Reality is a fierce competitor, yet to it I shut the door

I shut my eyes and my own world begins to rise

With it, the brightest sun

My world is what I make it

And my imagination has won.

Allison,   Both of your poems

Allison,

 

Both of your poems are very well written, but this one is has a more positive light despite what you may have been through. And good for you for sitting in the passenger seat and trusting someone else to drive .. maybe it will be such a smooth ride you won't even need a seatbelt.
