In the slumber of darkness when all is still only the fragrance.. a sleeping daffodil i hear whispers echoing in the night love letters written in sands of moonlight envelope of the night sealed by oceans kiss tucked away taken below in the ocean of abyss although lovers have died so very long ago hearts still ache for someone they use to know upon the shores of a thousand years past ribbons of tears wrapped around the winds mast footprints embedded upon salt kissed shores shadows searching for the love they adored lost within mysteries of love and grains of sand a shadow reaching ..reaching for someones hand < !signature--> A poem is never finished, only abandoned. - Paul Valery (1871-1945) [This message has been edited by Victoria (edited 12-17-2000).] |

Well this one was simple lovely through and trough. It brought back the visions of the movie "Message In A Bottle" to me for some reason. Very tenderly written and much enjoyed. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

Yes! Dreams of love either lost or longed for, are like footprints in the sand. The waves like ripples of the past lap the time-washed shores of unforgotten memories. I morn such a love. I enjoyed this poem it echoes my feelings. If a dream touches us, it exists to us as anything else that touches us. |

I like the "sands of moonlight". That is way cool! Robert if you can dream; you can fly...if you are flying; you are dreaming. |
