Phantoms of my Sighs |

Phantoms of my Sighs I sleep within a flow of sighs Feathered pillows and echo cries The night has sent a host of ghosts Phantoms that will awe the most They charge into my sleeping mind Some are soft and some unkind But all will offer forest prime And each a field of separate time They’re echoes of my day of real With changes of my wills appeal It’s roman orgy or a fear But never ever very clear I wallow in a field of seem Or hide within a shadows dream But ever busy catching sighs And some of them are outright lies. These dreams are robes of nightly dress And I’m the king of acquiesce. |

A beautiful write seymour, some wonderful lines. "But all will offer forest prime And each a field of separate time They’re echoes of my day of real With changes of my wills appeal I wallow in a field of seem Or hide within a shadows dream These dreams are robes of nightly dress And I’m the king of acquiesce". Too early for the rainbow, too early for the dove These are the final days, this is the darkness, this is the flood |

Seems to me that your phantom's dream would tear apart night at its seam let your dragons find their conquest and with sweet dreams may you be blessed [This message has been edited by Sunshine (09-22-2002 08:53 AM).] |

Sy, I thought you were stealing my Phantom that walks the halls, for a few moments there..... But, not the case....and even if it were, I would have graciously allowed you to borrow him.... Maybe he needs to come over and run off some of those ghastly goblins of the night.... |

fun and frolic contrasted with a bit of wanton desire, yes?...very enjoyable! speaking of Phantoms...have you read my "The Thirteenth Friday," below? It's quite a different piece for me being Transylvanian in flavor. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
