I'll weave for you dreams of flesh Said the beggar to the queen A daring weave of intimate mesh Part reality and part dream And he wove - Winding the strands With deft and strong hands Marking the warp and the weft And he wove - With precision bold Weaving dark with bright gold Lifting the dream from its cleft I'll sing for you dreams of night Mingle the joy and the bliss If you can stand and do not take fright I'll mix in, some darkest abyss And he sang - A dreamer's song As the weave moved along The music was caught in the weave And he sang - A siren's pure tune While he courted the moon To cast dreams for the sorrowing eve I'll bleed for you dreams of power To keep vigil over day Where meek and might is joined this hour And the weave shows in truth the way And he bled - In tapestry of pain Wakening sun again As the moon and the stars stood still And he bled - The weave taking the hue Mingled old and the new Dreams of power to stay queenly will I'll weave for you dreams of flesh While the queen took the weave for her own By weaving the beggar into the mesh For the dream and the weave had both flown And he died - And so the queen grew In the wisdom she knew That had come from the weave of the cloth And he died - Till the power of gloom Spilling out from the loom Captured queen, song and dream in its wrath Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

I'll bleed for you dreams of power To keep vigil over day Where meek and might is joined this hour And the weave shows in truth the way And he bled - In tapestry of pain Wakening sun again As the moon and the stars stood still And he bled - The weave taking the hue Mingled old and the new Dreams of power to stay queenly will ====================================== A pips book wouldnt be the same with out your gift of rhyme. This is a bittersweet beauty Keth. " ... And think not, that you can direct the course of love ... |

"I'll sing for you dreams of night Mingle the joy and the bliss If you can stand and do not take fright I'll mix in, some darkest abyss And he sang - A dreamer's song As the weave moved along The music was caught in the weave And he sang - A siren's pure tune While he courted the moon To cast dreams for the sorrowing eve" Kethry, the feel and movement of this brings the pictures to me so clear...really enjoyed this |

I'll weave for you dreams of flesh While the queen took the weave for her own By weaving the beggar into the mesh For the dream and the weave had both flown And he died - And so the queen grew In the wisdom she knew That had come from the weave of the cloth And he died - Till the power of gloom Spilling out from the loom Captured queen, song and dream in its wrath always a wondeful weaver of words, Keth hugss M |

Beloved one you know that this is splendiferous and yes it deserves to be in the book, simply because with quality poems like this the book will sell and sell really well. I’m always telling you beloved that your writing is exceptional and you always say its because I’m biased. Truthfully I can tell the difference between good writing and writing that is merely adequate……… your writing is always good, more often superb and this is no exception it shows your quality and your ability and I applaud you as always Another resounding YES this should be in the book. Love it and love you utterly Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds but I can face the future with courage brave and bold Footprints In My Heart Kethry [This message has been edited by Marsha (03-05-2003 11:23 PM).] |
