As We Dream |

And now we've loved; rest with your dream in mine Love, stress, cares and concerns all put to sleep. The night turns on, the stars move round Polaris Your sweet sleeping form is pure beside me Only you, will sleep in my dreams. We'll go, Together, over waves to tropic shores. You alone travel through these dreams with me, Ever you, evergreen, ever love. I watch your hands, fingers uncurled, at peace I sense the day's cares drifting away; Your eyelids closed two dark feathers lying We float down to a waterfall, cascade The folded water carries us away. The night, the fates, spins out our destiny. Yet with you, I am your dream, you are mine And only that, and that is all needs be |

This is pure beautiful romantic style. I especially like the "uncurling fingers", a definite sign of complete relaxation. Very well done, sir... |

Poet deVine - Sometimes the last verse is the hardest - this time I had it early - go figure ~G~ Thanks - I just fixate on someone lovable and fantasize ~G~ |

Gloriously perfect love poem. Ah to be loved like this... catalinamoon Words are things, and a small drop of ink, falling, like dew, upon a thought produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions think. Lord Byron |
