Queen of Spades

Good day everyone. Queen of Spades here.
It's Day 2 of National Poetry Month. Today, I will continue focusing on poems from my 1st poetry collection Reflections of Soul.
Before I continue, a very quick update:
~A special thanks to All Authors Graphic Design for the recently updated cover.
~A new size for Reflections of Soul will be revealed. My goal is right in the nick of time for this collection's seven-year anniversary.
Today's selection is entitled "Faded Dreams". It plays with whether happiness and peace are acquirable constants or merely fleeting abstracts. Even when a person thinks one's relationship or existence is going well, circumstances can expose one to the sobriety of reality.
Happy is what I dream.
Delicate touches of hands
kneading the stress
that tries to cling to my skin.
Peace is what I yearn.
Loving traces of tongue
exploring places
that had long been neglected.
My Heart has wings,
for Love is a butterfly,
taking off into the air
into the vast unknown …
Then, I clutch my stomach,
throbbing from rough knuckles.
… alas, Reality is home.
