The Phantom’s Embrace

As I close my eyes on the world around
a dream takes form bringing to me a smile
Ghostly arms that reach out to me, surround,
and make the harshness of the day worthwhile
I feel the warmth of lips filled with desire
as a kiss of passion fills my vision
The phantom's embrace that I acquire
now has two hearts beating with precision
A ringing brings me back to my senses
vanishing the heat that had just begun
Reaching out I rebuild my defenses
and leave the weaving of the dream undone
Then I hear a voice that whispers my name
singing me love songs while lighting the flame

(smiles) Sooooooo mysteriously beautiful! (smiles) Your dreams weave such a beautiful phantom of the opera, reciting serenades of true love! (sigh) May his silhouette soon become the loving man you'll love forever! (sigh) Such a beautiful sonnet, I love it! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karen, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Let us suppose that the phanton were to take shape.
Would you welcome it
Or run afraid and hide ???
