Belated Valentine

Do I dare ink what tortures my weary mind
Thoughts constant that do not give way
Thoughts of you are my peril I might say

Beneath the dark lights lies my heart within the shadow
It can’t find rest, neither day nor night
I can’t see through the darkened light

Burning when rays of light finding my soul within the dark
I lay there dreaming of better days to come
Knowing that only you can be the only one

Indescribable where my thoughts of you do roam
Feelings I cannot dream, nor dare I do feel
But in my thoughts those feeling of you are real

Desires burning like a dragon’s flaming breath
Skin I feel beneath mine that cannot be
Emptiness lying beside me

Holding you with enchanted dreams near my heart
Dreaming while lying here alone
No better dream that I can own

A Valentine from you,
Helmut,
is never too late,
nor too early...

Welcome back!

SweetFriend~
How very comforting to see the word-smiles of a friend~
*Huglets* to you~

This is a beautiful thought -
'No better dream that I can own'

I hope you are well and will return time and again~

hearts rest in shadows frequently...enjoy the time of peace, quiet, reflectiveness... and then when the time is right, your heart will then will take to flight

Thank you for your kind words I am glad you liked it. Sunshine, Marge, Enchantress, Margherita & passing shadows thank you. I am well and still kicking in case you might wanted to know. I do hope you all are well too.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.
