A Dream’s Continuation….

Ah companion mine, soul-scarred friend,
from what depths you have penned
your emotions and tears,
your sorrows and fears,
believe me, I do comprehend.

Would that I have a wand in hand
would that I were yours to command,
would that I end all your fears,
would that I could dry your tears
a wave of the wand her memory to ban.

Take a breath, breathe slow and deep
and travel into tranquil Morpheus’ sleep,
so that I may inhabit your dreams
to warm you in sunlight bright,
to guide you with moonbeam light.

Now in this dream your future appears
see you as the gallant man, a man of cheer,
now hold this hand, forever yours,
and take this heart, thus assured
that from a dream I will appear…

to be your reality, your dream, sincere….

I thought for a minute I was reading something written by Billy Shakespeare's sister.
"Would that I have a wand in hand
would that I were yours to command
would that I end all your fears
would that I could dry your tears
a wave of the wand her memory to ban."

Very nicely done Sunshine I enjoyed every word!

Ah Ethome, what a lovely compliment...and I can't even claim him as a long-lost cousin!

Thank you!

A really nice, artistic work. Confused on one thing however....would that I could dry your tears
a wave of the wand (HER) memory to ban.....

Now in this dream your future appears
see you as the gallant (MAN), a(MAN) of cheer,...

At first I thought the subject was a she..

Oh dear friend of mine, you offer words of peace to me
As from your words emerge much needed rest, to this restless eye
Tranquility, I gain from pure heart of yours, a calm sea
On this pinnacle of confused emotions hitherto stand I.

A guardian angel from within my dreams,
Amazingly pleasant, so calm as it seems,
My scarred heart for repair belongs to you,
In another life, I promise to be in view.

Sacred words from you, help calm this soul,
Can I ever repay the debt to I owe to you,
All this life, the next ones too, my goal,
Will be to offer sincere regards to you, true.

Karilea, I am forever indebted... Thank You.

Sudhir.

Sunshine~
     This is so lovely!  Words so true could only come from the heart.  Beautiful thoughts flood into my heart, of a love that could be this strong.

to be your reality, your dream, sincere...

and I am all the better for it~

Ah Prometheus...you cannot always tell a book by its' cover...if I were to tell you to read it as if a woman were speaking to a man who had been jilted...does that help? and Thank you for your kind comments...

Sudhir...what can I say. Your comment here is hauntingly lovely, take it, expound on it, post it, for it is another masterpiece that you have created...every woman will think it is for her...

Terry, thank you. You will find that here in Passions, we all lead each other on to better pieces, daily...[sometimes hourly, if you're not careful!] A belated WELCOME to Passions!

Sunshine,
Would That I could change the night.
Would that I could light a light.
Would that I could tell lifes draft.
Would that I could sail your craft.
A wonderful delightful piece. *L*

beautifully written Karilea, really beautiful. Much enjoyed.

These were fabulous lines written for a dear friend.  Great writing, Sunshine.  So uplifting and sincere.
