Return, return, return to me…

She hears the whispers, resisted for so long

Longing …
She heeds the cry,
Drawing her in, beguiling,
Resonance within her soul

Faintly she asks,
“What can you offer to me?
Convince me of your truths
I may follow yet”

Draw near find solitude
Shelter from the tempest
Solace I will provide
Refuge from your wretchedness
Within my sanctuary a
Haven you have always desired

“Indeed is this so?
Whence have I known your succor?”

Black nights, terror filled days
Menacing bleakness descended upon your soul
Faith dissolved, love…
Abandoned, Forsaken by those
I was there, to hold you
Comfort to you in those murky hours
Return to me darling…
I will seal those mystic hours of despair

“Perchance to sleep?”

Indeed, sleep can be bartered
Down comforters, silken protection
Lay here within my arms
Drink up, tis just a bit of liquid …

She is left with only whispers
Whispers
Of what might have been
What could have been
She murmurs

Yes, close your eyes…
Return to me

goodnight…

Goodbye, indeed!
DeaDi, You just get better and better with every piece (so too, may I add, are some others hereabouts)

You seem able, to polish water.

To polish water? Wranx, you need to write that into a poem!!! Better yet, issue a challenge! (someone make sure wranx sees this )
