A Dream: I did not wake up

Wed, 07/08/2015 - 12:59 -- Anaise1

Dance with me and the fireflies

As the tides turn to dusk

Tilting and turning forever seeing the stars in my eyes

All I can hear is the rustling of the leaves that taste of sweet corn husk

 

What a drink so strong so true

What happened to us a spender the bore

What happen what happen what happened to you

Splendid conversation we have are they true I ask I beg you I implore

 

My mind spinning by day and living by night

Stop I say stop this constant fight

I ceased to strive only to lie down lie down and what close my eyes tight,

Tight I say and to enjoy this wonderful joyous flight.

The writer leaped to her death because her husband betrayed her and sold her out to the village they were ruling over. He sold the winery they owned and then the secret the writer showed her husband before they married, it was the back entrance of the villa it was quite and serene. There was a small waterfall with what appeared to be diamonds was only sand that twinkled in the moonlight. He brought someone to that special place but the person he bought became bored with him and it was not special as it would have been with his wife.

The wife watching the two together she began to question herself with the what if I had done this guilt trip. The writer/wife is grieving over loss of her husband to another women. The loss of her village and family winery had taken its toll on her. The only way the writer could have escape the screaming in her head was to leap from the edge of the villa where they lived, her most favorite place in the whole wide world. As her body fell to the shore she closed her eyes and said no more just let it be over. In the morning the husband and the people of the village found her body on the shore lying there dressed in her beautiful white lounging gown and her face not even damaged from the fall but lying there flawless with a smile.
