Like Kethry I combined the phrases together, although I think she did a much better job than I did.



The Shadows Of My Dreams


Within this tender flame that burns here in me
My soul rises and glories in the dreams mystery
To bathe in the light that are in my dreams alone
With their images as insubstantial as the sea foam
Whispers in the dark speak their secrets to me
There in my dreams I have no identities or memory
In that smoky misty world where shadows dance
Where life is all possibilities I can take a chance

In the shadows of my dreams I can see your eyes
They ignite my soul with fire and my heart flies
Mystic moons guide my way through loves maze
In this my house of passage I wander in a daze
Trying to hold on to my soul while letting go
I feel my soul move to you I follow dreams flow
To be enraptured like this, I’m enchanted by you
Held in thrall to you, held by my dreams so true

I am a rose held in the shadows of my dark night
The sigh of a breeze that is blest by angels flight
If forever lasts for a day then night is my eternity
And held there in my dreams I’ll lie contentedly
Angels sing the songs that I hold inside my heart
There in the mists where my dreams of you start
I’ll whisper to you as you come in my dreamtime
Love come and enrapture me for ever I am thine

Only a memory of the same

I wouldn't sell myself short there Mushy....this is a beautiful write!

The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.

Mushy, Mushy,
you did this so well. I am so proud of you! *HuGS* Now sister Moon is envious of the light you shed.

Marsha, where is this 'phrases' challenge? I went back 60 days at the Poetry Workshop site and found nothing.
