This Lovely Vision by Michael Auguste While sketching at the sea one day Breathtaking beauty, golden tan Asked to see what I was drawing And stood with me upon the sand As if she came from out the sea From nowhere did she seem to come My heart was beating like a drum So seldom can such beauty be Her name was Libby and we talked We seemed to find a common bond Quite near the foam and spray we walked Her voice like ripples on a pond Barely was she clothed at all Her body like you see in dreams Her eyes are what I really saw She's still a part of me it seems Her eyes, sweet dew reflecting light Such peace conveyed within their gaze More lovely than the stars of night I became lost in them, much like a maze More like a vision, so much like art Her voice like softly dripping rain If I closed my eyes would she still be there? Is this a dream, am I still sane? Our shadows lengthened as we walked And as we talked of many things The sun now changed its shift with night We spoke of long forgotten dreams As darkness fell we each held hands So not to lose each in the night Her touch like silk again my skin Her fragrance was so much like sight A little longer did we stroll With hand in hand along the shore She's now embedded in my soul Oh how we longed for so much more But part we had to and I miss This lovely vision now since gone I never touched her lips to kiss Though in my heart she lives in song [This message has been edited by Michael Auguste (edited 07-22-2000).] |

Her eyes are what I really saw She's still a part of me it seems Her eyes, sweet dew reflecting light Such peace conveyed within their gaze More lovely than the stars of night I became lost in them, much like a maze More like a vision, so much like art Her voice like softly dripping rain If I closed my eyes would she still be there? Is this a dream, am I still sane? ==================== A little longer did we stroll With hand in hand along the shore She's now embedded in my soul Oh how we longed for so much more But part we had to and I miss This lovely vision now since gone I never touched her lips to kiss Though in my heart she lives in song ================== this is a very lovely verse and memory wonderful imagery and touching emotions very nice writing welcome to Passions Michael. so nice to meet you and read you work take care jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Michael, I'm glad to see you posting here, my friend. Take the words in these responses to heart, and allow yourself to share. I love this one, naturally. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Wow...this has been one of my favorites for a LONG time! I am glad I found it tonight! Looking for more of his work, but only see one other poem. I am missing him and thought I would find more of his work here. Can anyone help me? Thanks...Becka [This message has been edited by saved_by_grace (01-09-2005 01:09 AM).] |
