Two steps ‘til sunrise... closer, warmer! The twilight fades into the light. Her sleepless phantom, tender murmur Keeps me awake. Before my sight, She heaves and casts her pale shadows Against the walls. In black and white, Survives my memory and shatters My dreams of peace with sad delight. O, gentle phantom, rest a while! The heartbeat skips within my breast. O, soothe me, calm me, and beguile The conscious feeling of unrest. O, grant me peace! Alone and lonely, I seek in you my home, my nest. In silence, lay beside me calmly And rest your head upon my chest. Check out my poetry here: http://cafepoetry.com/stage1/andrey_kneller.htm#My%20Hamlet |

This is an absolutely captivating verse...your eloquence is quite striking. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |
