O! I saw an angel in my sleep!
Her spirit soul awoken, ‘Tis her light-
upon the fleet’s of memories that hath spoken
was an heartache long ago now broken,
O Thee, with me! Beneath upon the earth-
on passion’s breath we longed along the distance
the passing touch grew wings and felt away,

And in closed eyes we’d dream of us-
like blossoming flowers wanting to regrow
in different places we could let our hearts show,
But wilted they become blackened before death-
didn’t I push thee away knowing our time was spend
and beauty in thine eyes became that of waterfalls.

A loss before the drowning washed away the ache,
and numb I felt the longing wished I let thee stay-
’tis better to have lost and loved a laughable assuming lie
to heart, to wilt, to be no more than a shadow of it’s former self,
And still I would not change the pain for a moments joy-
continuing- I see thee now as I saw thee back then
an angel still beyond my reach the light of all my love.

Lee~
Nice to see you ...

'’tis better to have lost and loved a laughable assuming lie'

I think truer words were never spoken~
Hurts like heck to lose love ... not so sure myself that it's the better of the lot~

~*No matter what I search for ...
let me know when it is LOVE that I find*~ <))><

One of the aspects of your writing that really appeals to me, is that you write with such pure emotion that I can imagine you actually reciting your heartfelt words.

I hear your voice as I imagine it to be.

Good to be reading your poetry again!
