It’s Almost Past Midnight

It’s almost past midnight beyond our dreams,
So far it seems almost like morning here.
The hours drifted away tonight
As I walked with you in another light.

I listen in the darkness
To a harp and a flute on Spanish rivers,
And hear hard rain on the old roof
Of the empty house I once lived in.

Now there is another song to sing
Since I met you, as the music begins
To draw me closer to your heart
Even though we cannot dance tonight.

Why are we so close and yet so far away?
Yet your love was just enough for this rainy day
To dry my tears, and here I’ll stay until
Our flowers bloom in that distant day.

I feel you here and I am with you there…
Beyond words, beyond my present cares,
Inside your heart I’ll still remain
Until we finally meet again.

Oh goodness, Will, I am certainly going to enjoy reading you!!   Ed was right...you can write romantic poems.

This part of your poem reminds me so much of my Honey-Love. In fact, I wrote a poem..."You Are There....Here With Me".

Welcome to Passions In Poetry, Sir. You are going to fit right in here.
Hugs  
Ethel

Will,
A write of good reflections. Much enjoyed.

Hey I'd like to welcome you to Passions. This is indeed a wonderful place. I hope you enjoy it here half as much as I have. Settle in...this could be home!

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

This is lovely..I enjoyed the assonance of your word play as well as the imagery and romantic intend.
Welcome to Poetry Land ...so nice to have you here with us. Ed has spoken highly of your work..I look forward to reading more.

No matter what the differences
No matter what the cost
When words become our weapons ...
All that's beautiful is lost.

Welcome to Passions, OP...from the pen name and the title of the post, I gather the first I will read of you is each morning just after the night before...

I do hope you enjoy it here!

I do things a bit backwards sometimes... so I've already read some of your other work before finding your first... and all I can say is... I saved the best for last. *S*

I feel you here and I am with you there…
Beyond words, beyond my present cares,
Inside your heart I’ll still remain
Until we finally meet again.

This beauty touches deeply... Wonderful work!

Will- Welcome to PIP!!!!! I'm sure you're gonna like it here. IF all of your writing is as good as this one, then I am looking forward to reading more.

BTW, I used to live in Fullerton. We lived in apartments on Baker Ave and we had a house on Richmond about halfway up the hill... of course, that was when there were still a number of orange groves in the area.

Day after day I'm more confused,
So I look for the light through the pouring rain...

(smiles) Oh Will, this is such a beautiful debut, sweet friend, I love the imagery here, this had me feeling like I was sailing down a Spanish canal and tasting the kalabala olives, this is lovely, I love it! Welcome to Passions, sweet Will, may you be inspired by all of us here as we will all be inspired by your lovely words! I can't wait to read more of your lovely poetry, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Will, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
