Love's Dream

black separator bar

mother's hand touches my forehead
her words of love you
ringing in my ears

her arms hold my body tight
warmth of her body
bringing us closer

suddenly the dream is gone
no hand touching me
only cold hard life

no arms to hold me tightly
only words of hate
that cut deep inside
