I saw her for the first
on new hallows eve
when the ghosts walked
and demons on souls did feed

Yet her alone my eyes did see
In the moonlight;
In my dreamworld;
On new hallows eve

I saw her again
when the snows came
and the year was old and feigned
as if my eyes in darkness
beheld a single flame

Her eyes sought me
In the pale night
In the snow drops
On the morn of new years eve

We loved for a single evening
But when morning came
like a phantom in visions
she dissolved into the rain

As the planets turned
My hair burnished silver
My love did not dwindle
In the autumn of my days

I saw her again
as the past turned to dust
in my mind and the black
Filled my world

I saw her still
As she was
As she has always
And will always be

A winter, a Summer
A winter, a Spring
I searched for those eyes
but i did ner behold them again

On the night of the 6th
The winds did blow
And her eyes still held me true
As winds words of her flew.

On my final day
The four winds brought her to my door
Appearing as if she'd never gone.
A love long cold i would feel forever more

We sat and looked at old times
those that have long gone by
at the past still vivid
in the love, in the light, In my eyes.

Yet In the morning
my angel had returned to the sky
where she shone more beautiful
than a thousand fireflies.

PART II

In the beauty eternity does stretch
She holds my hand;
as we cross the land'
over the Threshold of life and death

For a man that strove
Never finding
Now alone forever
with his own one true love

As I walked
In the Twilight
Of this lifetime
Where no one can see

And my beauty
long sought
is here sitting
with me

In this dream world
As this heart felt
splashs down
into the sea

And my loves eyes
Find my lies
buried down deep
inside of me

And her smile melts
The fears felt
In the life far away
From me

The very deep did rot: O Christ!
That ever this should be!
Yea, slimy things did crawl with legs
Upon the slimy sea.

(sigh) So soft and romantic! I love to read such lovely poems so very much! (sigh) This one made me cry as I read it of the such beauty and romance and faithfulness you have to your dream love. (sigh) She is a very lucky woman indeed! You have such a beautiful heart, dear friend, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I've been wondering where you were! This is simply gorgeously dark and sensuous--how I have missed your work! Fabulous writing Walter!

hey you

Walter the imagery in this is excellent ...
as is the cadence kissed story you weave for us,
a beautiful, bittersweet tale of eternal love.
so great to see your name here again.

Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
For I have loved the stars too fondly ...
To be fearful of the night.

This is a truly delicately woven piece~
Very moving ...

'I saw her again
when the snows came
and the year was old and feigned

So gently told ....
