             Fulfillment

Once when in a deep, deep slumber,
I dreamt the earth in shades of umber.
where laid asleep under a tree.
A maid of wondrous beauty to me.

She seemed to sleep enchantments care.
Held in some trance of wizards dare.
And I stood engrossed in spellbound mould,
In fear that I would break sleeps hold.

But my mind raced in careless leaps.
To touch her hair, her nose, her cheeks.
Perhaps to brush with finger tips
And place a kiss upon her lips.

I was in awe of what I saw.
Much, much more than beauties door.
And I breathed titillation sighs
Her lids would open and see my eyes.

And I hovered o'er her like a cover,
Back of my mind, a would be lover.
I gazed and wished and prayed my soul,
That she would wake and fill my goal.

But seems are seems, made up of scheme.
And I have yet to fulfill this dream.

Seymore...the rhythm in this is so smooth...I liken it to Poe's "The Raven"
Wonderful poem

Sy,
This is such a beautiful verse, you've taken all the rhyme out of me. And a beautiful story. I agree with Hoot, it is very melodic, one of my favorites.
Love ya,
Liz

Wish upon the nearest star, my dear, for with words as beautiful as these, there isn't one to resist!

Well, Sy, if this ever happens to you, give me a call and I'll bring bail money. You can't just go around touching sleeping maidens!!!...but it does make for a good poem and, in this case, an excellent one!

You haven't fulfilled your dream
and I see what you mean,
just keep trying,
and you may soon have a chance of defying.
