In the Pale of You


Fairy tales are all the same,
ending always without my name.
I gained myself in guise of you
and treasured dreams beyond nights view.
A song of love, would morning rise
when glimpsed upon, by soul blue eyes.

How deep am I, escaped in love
somewhere beyond the reigns above,
that shower me in deja vu.
Sometimes you know, I want for you.
You've held my heart in hands of strong,
caressed it whence the need not long.

Behind my sorrow, a fault that seeps
for silence reigns, and mysting weeps
through window of, that far beyond
is out of reach, cannot be found.
Apart and somber, that sound of tone
that judges why I am all alone.

I've run too hard to get nowhere,
but long to linger, those words to share.
In rhyme I poet, in real I am mere
destined to be forever sheer,
in face of other, without a name
as cupid's mark has not my aim.

But I believe in what's to be
for locked away inside of me
are all my tomorrows, scattered in seed
within, awaiting a heart to feed.
For I have love enough for two,
a shadow waiting, in the pale of you.

Maureen

Maureen darling heart this is as always superb writing from you. This delight you’ve spun into a net of rainbows you know exactly how to capture thought this is truly awesome. This is spectacular writing. Writing that takes you into the very heart of it and holds you captured and spell bound until the last word. Writing such as this is too fine, too rare to be tossed aside carelessly, or read too quickly in haste. Writing such as this must be allowed to sink into the soul of the reader and settle like a mantle over the spirit.

You know I love this utterly utterly it is exquisite writing absolutely exquisite

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

this romance prances on darkened whim
never revealed, for it dwells within
seeing as hawks with a smile so thin
it's deja vu, all over again

a shadow dweller in the shaded dim
it ends exactly where others begin
but it worships a lover, a soul twin
and waits for the light to reveal once again

(i love the synchronicity of us posting at the same time, Maureen.
Stuffing myself with a mammoth pot pie and smiling at the
  wonderful wording that never pales:  yours, M.)

in the shadows. . . but yet, shining all its own. . .

Maureen this has got to be one of your best writes, or certainly in the top five anyway, the language usage is wonderful and the form and rhyme cannot be bettered. how do you get your flow as smooth and as perfect as that? It is wonderful, really excellent writing, It is true mum did tell me to look out for this poem but I believe I’d have unearthed this gem anyway. Well written and lovely to read. Thank you for the gift of it
