Sorry about the last post. I inadvertantly posted "The Dream" instead. That was an unintentional repost. Here is the real " My Morning Dove."


My Morning Dove

What music this that lights upon my ear,
Before the peace of sleep begins to fade.
Come wondrous dawn a melody so dear,
My morning dove in softest serenade.
Do I still dream or do I hold her fast?
And does her breath my soul intoxicate?
With opened eyes our love secured at last,
As hunger may in sweet relief abate.
That every day commences ever so,
Doth flame the fires of deepest dark desire.
Would fortune grant that she each day I’d know,
No other need to ever then require.

So fill my arms, let night or day not pass,
And steal away my brittle heart of glass.

David,
This is splendid work here, ending with a...

So fill my arms, let night or day not pass,
And steal away my brittle heart of glass

I truly enjoyed reading this one.

Regards, sudhir.

 Hey you, out there in the cold,
Getting lonely, getting old, can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisle,
With itchy feet and fading smile, can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light.
Don't give in without a fight.
Hey you, out there on your own,
Sitting naked by the phone, would you touch me?
Hey you, with your ear against the wall,
Waiting for someone to call out, would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home....

by Roger Waters (Pink Floyd) - The Wall

Very nice these verses you write ~And does her breath intoxicate my soul~ this captured the very essence of your poem.

a beautiful poem.


That every day commences ever so,
Doth flame the fires of deepest dark desire.
Would fortune grant that she each day I’d know,
No other need to ever then require.

bubbling with passion flowing with romance, lovely.
