Then come to me...

I wait for you with weary eyes

You walk my way still in disguise

I call to you a million times

And with the breeze your words come back

"Then come to me"...you softly whisper

When night shall fall and all asleep

The moon is watching the stars await

We'll ride the heavens while hell does freeze

Why rush me now? Just let me float

To painless lands where lies a hope

Where till the dawn I'll waltz with you

And hand in hand all dressed in dreams

The music plays and in your arms

"Then come to me"...this time a voice

Where sorrows vanish so far away

Just lay your head and feel so light

Feel the music close your eyes

Then come to me...nightly asleep

Where stars await...another

Then come to me...then come to me... death.

We cannot know of darkness unless we have the light to compare it to.
Very good poem... I liked reading it..in fact I read it twice.. and it was even better the second time round.

You keep the reader floating through this poem, Avanti. Quite compelling and still, like a peaceful death might be. Very interestingly written.

thank you for bringing it back in...
it's very close to me
it means a lot when someone understands it

If I should fall again, then they will laugh but what if just this one I rise?
