somebody's dungeon

By glow of surreal light
she stood by window in dead of night
as a child I saw her standing there
surrounded by sleep thickened air.

Looking upon a moonlit sky
as if waiting a love on wings to fly
awash with a gentle soul caress
to calm a heart in need of rest.

No spirit this but an elder dear
I saw one night so very near
a night at grandma's spent in youth
presented to me this magic viewed.

Adorned in gown of vintage age
trimmed in soft feathered lace
standing still in moonlit glow
a shadow cast on night's window.

She swore though yet upon the morn
a dream in thought instead was born.

WhiteRose

Touch me with your whispers,
and I'll listen with my heart.

Ah such momories should be treasured forever

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?
