Celtic Lovers Please Click Link above to hear music and my voice recording. Music: Sky 7 by Mychael Danna From the album entitled: Celtic Twilight ![]() Celtic Lovers by Linda L. Dowd On a mystic isle, amid an emerald sea, Celtic lovers sealed souls with flesh. So close were they, that they shared one heart, And together they shared each breath. Beneath pale rays of the pagan moon, On a bed of laurel and flowers, A powerful union was blessed by the gods, In the woods by Duanan towers. As seed was planted in fertile womb, Willows swayed in the soughing, spring breeze. All forces of flora, gods, fauna, and Man, Were absorbed and recorded in trees. Thru’ out the ages, upon entering those woods, When the moon was luminous and high, If one stood still, by Duanan hill, One could hear their lovers’ sigh. On a mystic isle, amid an emerald sea, Celtic lovers sealed souls with flesh. So close were they, that they shared one heart, And together they shared each breath. ~ Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with that of another. ~ Linda L. Dowd |

I am probably rather antiquated in my thinking but, to me, a poem consists of words for us to look at, to read, to savour, to interpret and - most importantly - to enjoy. Vocal or musical backgrounds only distract me, So I read your poem several times over and enjoyed it over and over again. |

TheAnonDavid ~ I go to monthly Open Mike poetry nights and some people are distracted by the music, as are you. However, there are others who prefer the addition of music. So.... I do a bit of both and that way I make everybody happy! ![]() I have 42 of my audio poems posted at pip and have them also burned to CDs. You having read my "poem several times over and enjoyed it over and over again." ~ was 'music' to my 'ears'! lol ![]() Love & Celtic Light, Linda ![]() I appreciate that you enjoyed my poem enough to have read it |
