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.  Unknown

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

fantastical and irresistable.Loved every phrase and rhyme.This is going into my special library to enjoy.Can't wait to get the book!If I could vote,I would.But I can see there is no need for ,of course,this is quite understandably accepted.
