Soft Whispers in the Night by Michael Now silent is the night of scented dreams, of love’s caress that is no more. Soft whispers, sighs and heated breaths no longer touch. I reach and find her empty place where once was warmth. Where once there was a smile to greet my own. If I could for a moment hold her hand, or hear her laugh again. I close these eyes in hopes that I might see her in my sleep. Proust- |

The stuff of dream's delight. "I am not now that which I have been." |

This touches me. The other side of my bed is now empty. Joyce |

Michael--It is sad when one is used to sharing a bed, to find it empty..especially a king sized. I liked this little piece of a life you show in this poem...tis poignant. |

"Sleeping single in a double bed" of course just a song, but so true...as there is nothing quite like waking up and they are not there. This was truly a very heartfelt poem, and very well done too Sir Michael. Please visit me at my new homepage: |
