A WHISPER FROM DREAM On child's swing in softest sway, She turns her head, she looks my way. Seductive eyes giving of gleam I've only ever held in dream. Her shining hair, a sultry tease Of golden waves upon the breeze. Her lips, the plush pink of a rose Longing to bloom at Fate's disclose. I can't help but fall to the eyes Of love welling in sweet surprise. Nor feign the hand of heart found weak From the soft white touch of her cheek. Come delicate to calloused fingers, A moment froze in time yet lingers. The lightest whisper falls away - Upon one word I hear her say. Releasing soul from chrysalis With wings of love to find her kiss Beneath the lover's moon abeam, I wake to find ‘tis but a dream. Yet by one word so soft-spoken, Holds my heart promise, unbroken. By wish, by sigh, if Hope's endeavor, She whispers to me now, "forever". Michael Anderson [This message has been edited by Michael (edited 03-13-2000).] |

Oh, Michael~ You cause deep *sighs* to be emitted in admiration of your talent. This is 'magic'. 'Yet by one word so soft-spoken, Holds my heart promise, unbroken. By wish, by sigh, if Hope's endeavor, She whispers to me now, "forever".' To sleep and dream your dreams would be to experience of love. No matter what is taken, they cannot take our dreams. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

In our escape to dreams we float on the silvery wings of perfection, your words are perfection all its own. You transport me mind and soul to a world where there is no pain and there are no tears. Thank you sweet Michael. |

~Michael And you did it again! You are amazing. This one is my favorite by you yet!! You simply take my breath away with your stunning words, powerful meanings, huge heart, and way with the English language. To say you are a good poet, would be an understatement. You are a wonderful poet. I sit in awe of your work. With deepest admiration Amy ~Live today as though it were your last but prepare for tomorrow as though it were here~ |

Michael ~ ~ With a brush and a stroke of loveless pen you have done it once again, taken art to highest form made me feel so soft and warm... I was away and did not see this wonderful piece of poetry but by perchance a stroke of key led me to your words lovely. Now I must make adventure to see what other forms of treasure you've concocted during my being away ~ and surely they will hold me in love's sway. Well done, Dear Sir!

Michael, a fantastic romantic poet you are. Its nice to see you in different modes. I'm glad I'm not a woman, cause I'd be melting too. I give this a factor 10 (highest rating) on the swooning scale. You are now a master swooner, enjoy all those sigh's, they are so very sweet. Parker |

Sunshine, thank you for resurfacing this while I was gone. You flatter me with your poetic reply. I'm so glad this piece moved you so. Toe, you know I don't even mess with those other publications - if the Toerag Tribune likes it, well then I am smiling for sure. Thanks bud. Parker, LOL on the "swooning scale"... Of course, swooning can also mean floundering... been doing much of that lately... Glad you liked it though.Thank you everyone for the kind replies. Michael |
