~~~
Not far it was from Heaven
'twas the very month of June
and the sweetest birds were singing
when first
she stole my tune ...

As if from out the bluest sky
an angel came to call

Quintessence of Irish memory
with braids as I recall

The golden sun's shine o'er the dew
reflected
through her eyes

Like flowers
from a woodland path
her smile just mesmerized

With dancer's wings she stepped along
my song held in her arms

My blue eyes dreaming
hypnotized
now locked within her charms

"Good day kind sir"
sweet melody
embraced my very soul

With butterflies and rubber thighs
my tongue
I swear it swoll

My heart stood tall
to brace my jaw
an lock the molars tight

The best I managed
was a smile
my voice had taken flight

Pausing
she locked her gaze to mine
reached out to my lapel

Placed a fragrant flower there
bent close
to share its smell

The moment
stole my breath from me

I gazed in pure delight

Enchanted with her beauty rare
awoke
to silent night
~~~

You certainly have a way with words, Rex. I like your style.

Aw! Why'd you have to wake up from that one?!
I was enjoying it so much.
I was going to put a tune to it and market it as an Irish Spring commercial....But this waking up to silent night thing and it's not even Christmas...
Dang! But dang good poetry.

Drat! Dreaming again. When this poem began and I read the line "when first / she stole my tune ..." I flashed back to an old song by Melanie by the name of "Look What They've Done to My Song, Ma."

I enjoyed your dream very much, Rex.  Sorry you had to wake up.  Giggles at Eric's twist to your silent night.

I adore this. Looking on the bright side, even if it was just a dream; dreams are always better than nightmares Enjoyed.
