In Silence, I Weep |

Artist: John Everett Millais In Silence, I Weep by Linda L. Dowd I slide down silk tendrils of moonbeams, And into thy sweet dreams of night. I wrap thee in a gossamer rainbow, ~Woven strands of shimmering light. Mine breath be the promise of roses, Thou inhalest its perfumed imbue. Mine touch be the caress of down feathers, Soft kisses be the moist morning dew. With the rise of full moon I do travel, To lie by thy side whilst ye sleep. Whispering mine love and sweet longing, ~But thy silence lends me to weep. Love is the unifying force which integrates one’s soul with another. ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ |

Well, Linda, what can I say but "wonderful". Unrequited love at its best - oh, perhaps "best" isn't the right word but you know what I mean. Your heroin will stop crying and her love will be as if it never was. She doesn't know that though. She's just got to live through it. Helen |

Ah, my dear Angelo Linda, this is so beautifully written and that last line really tugs at the heartstrings! A perceived illusion of separation ... I had to think of my Mom visiting while I sleep and dream ... There is silence, but filled with love. Love and hugs. Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Mine breath be the promise of roses, Thou inhalest its perfumed imbue. Mine touch be the caress of down feathers, Soft kisses be the moist morning dew. Linda that is magic as only you can write it, so much enjoyed, love you. Lindsay |

Yo Bobby! Thank you for you nice comments and your suggestion! I just went and read it again ~ this time without the use of archaic language and I do like the simplicity of it. Mind you, I feel the use of archaic language lends a touch of Renaissance romance to my love poem which is what I was attempting to convey. Have a great day! Linda |
