Impossibilities Poem by Leria Hawkins

Date: January 22,2015

There is a flaw in our stars
That led us to this end
A chronic imperfection
That fate refused to mend

We dreamt of clouds and rainbows
Of nights filled with fantasy
In those warm and lofty moments
We believed that 'we' could be

We danced with eyes wide open, dear
Ignored the right and wrong
And when whispers turned to kisses
We felt like we belonged

But the road we chose to travel
Was paved with treachery
Yet we stayed the course together
As if we didn't see

We rode the highs and lows
On a coaster made of glass
And squandered all our passion
On a dream that couldn't last

Time is our tormentor, dear
A thorn to scratch our eyes
It muddied up the certainty
Of this comfortless goodbye

Please find the road to honor, love
When your memories turn dark
And don't let this separation
Be the chains that bind your heart

As there never was a moment, dear
That we were meant to be
Just a burning…just a yearning
For impossibilities….
