I see heaven within your eyes
enticing the love in my heart
your whisper in the solace of night
upon my feathered pillow white
I see your fond memories that flow
I see your sapphire eyes glistening
in sunlit crystals of the snow

Visions of you in the darkness
within memories of my soul
silken strings of my heart
without you, they play a solo
we were a duet, we were a whole?

I wish I could find the little girl within me
within the finger paintings of my mind
watching mom adorn her lipstick
her lips a cherry wine
i didnt have any expectations
just "who am i going to play with today"
jumping rope happily,
along with my little sister Faye

Maybe because my life is growing shorter
im not ready to say good bye
I want to dance like sienna leaves
blending in a waltz of rhyme
I want to feel loved, just one more time

Sometimes I want to fly
and lose my breath
and taste satin icing of the sky
I want to feel your heart
beating next to mine
Is it too much to ask?
to feel loved
just one more time
painting a kaleidoscope of memories
like the finger paintings of my mind.

"I want to feel your heart beating next to mine."
I know this feeling well Victoria...the intimacy and the closeness...James

Victoria, too many beautiful parts jumped out at me in this piece for me to choose just one....I just love the entire write.  Well done, Nancy.

Victoria, A wonderfully descriptive read. I really enjoyed this one. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Oh Vic, this is so good, especially the last two stanzas affected me strongly.
All I can say is
ME TOO

so so pretty, Victoria.

Look into the eyes of a man and
you will find the soul of the woman
who loves him...
