Gentle Breeze

It seems that time has turned an inner dial
Always the echo of some soft forgotten song
Lifting the hem of my dress, as I hoped you would
I thought of you, and ached to mold within your arms
Enchanting, the visage of summer charms
Found me spellbound in the pages of my own dreams

Letting open the heart of me, letting in a giving sound
Camelot does not exist beyond the mist of amethyst
But this adoring state, this kind relate is why I journeyed
To wear only promise for the hands of tenderness
Then slipping down the sun from my shoulders
To hold you in the valley of the woman I’ve become

This is really lovely. My favorite part: "Camelot does not exist beyond the mist of amethyst" Could there be the heart of a rhymer in there?

'this kind relate is why I journeyed

I ADORE the all of this ... and that 'lifted hem' didn't escape notice either !!

Really superb. It's got a lightness of touch and grace that makes me a bit jealous. I agree with Jess
'does not exist beyond the mist of amethyst'
is a splendid use of assonance and sibilance. Beautifully done.

stunning write

It seems that time has turned an inner dial
Always the echo of some soft forgotten song
Lifting the hem of my dress, as I hoped you would
I thought of you, and ached to mold within your arms


that says it all, and most elegantly I might add...
