Once Upon A Magic Poem by Cynthia Aluning

once upon a time...
something happened to me
it was a wondrous thing
that could ever be
a world of make-believe,
a fantasy, dream-come-true
it was the day on the net
when I met you...


meeting you was accidental
interestingly, gone intellectual
you've gone too close but...
I failed to realize your worth
lovers kept breaking my heart
they simply come and go...
but the love I really need
is just right next to me


why do you make me
so special as you claimed?
why do you have concern
when I can't do the same?
why do we seem
to be as perfect mates...
when in fact we call ourselves
just 'Best Friends'?


I turn to you weeping
when my spirit needs a lift
just like this friendship
I treasure as a gift
you paint my life...
with colors in wide amaze
and make the world I live
...a better place


if someone would ask me
how beautiful life is...
I would lean on your shoulder,
and tell him 'like this! '
dont turn back on love
when its now in front of you
if someday you'll regret
t'was a door next to you.
