I Call Her in My Dreams I call her in my dreams at night I whisper all the day I've seen her in the twilight As she strolls along the way But it's not her, this captured gaze So short would be her life Just seagulls on an evening breeze It is not her, my wife In days now lost she clung to me Until that day drew near A breath of love we whispered free I whisper still, my dear I long to have her back with me So I no longer mourn And hold her through the dark, still night Until the day is born The house is as it was that day With all her things in place As though she will be coming back And I will see her face But deep within I know she's gone To never be again Soft melodies she used to hum How I remember when As sky becomes a dusty lace And azure melts to gray Soft starlight paints the scenery As shadows show the way She is not here this quiet night Fate took revenge, it seems She has now lost herself in light And I am lost in dreams |

As sky becomes a dusty lace And azure melts to gray Soft starlight paints the scenery As shadows show the way This is an impressive write, Michael... The imagery and the flow are unbelievably beatiful... I think a very fine poet wrote this one.  ~ warm chipmunk hugsLyra |

Michael, My Auguste friend, I enjoyed this one too. I like the "feel" of your poem, the sense of loss is almost palpable.... thanks for sharing, Jason Practiced in the Art of Perception |

Noah, thank you much for your kind reply. It's good to see you. Loner, thank you for dropping by for a read. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Nancy, this poem is actually one of the first I ever wrote and I wrote it when I was only 22 years old. I've since revised it for better flow. Thank you and big *hugs* Hi Lyra! You are TOO sweet, but I'm loving every word of what you have to say. LOL! Thank you, my friend. *hugs* Karilea, thank you for the "splendid" and for taking time to read this. It means a lot to me. Sunny, hey, where you been? Stopping running off and spend more time here. LOL! It's great to see you and thank you much! This Diamond, you're very kind and I sincerely thank you. Sky, I'm glad you loved this. Most of my work is rhyme, though I do experiment from time to time with free verse. Thank you! Jason, yes, I tried to convey both loss and longing in this poem as best I could and I appreciate you noticing. Thank you, Jason |
