It’s Almost Past Midnight |

It’s Almost Past Midnight It’s almost past midnight beyond our dreams, So far it seems almost like morning here. The hours drifted away tonight As I walked with you in another light. I listen in the darkness To a harp and a flute on Spanish rivers, And hear hard rain on the old roof Of the empty house I once lived in. Now there is another song to sing Since I met you, as the music begins To draw me closer to your heart Even though we cannot dance tonight. Why are we so close and yet so far away? Yet your love was just enough for this rainy day To dry my tears, and here I’ll stay until Our flowers bloom in that distant day. I feel you here and I am with you there… Beyond words, beyond my present cares, Inside your heart I’ll still remain Until we finally meet again. WP Will Patrick |

I feel you here and I am with you there… Beyond words, beyond my present cares, Inside your heart I’ll still remain Until we finally meet again. Oh goodness, Will, I am certainly going to enjoy reading you!! Ed was right...you can write romantic poems. This part of your poem reminds me so much of my Honey-Love. In fact, I wrote a poem..."You Are There....Here With Me". Welcome to Passions In Poetry, Sir. You are going to fit right in here. Hugs Ethel |

Will, A write of good reflections. Much enjoyed. Hey I'd like to welcome you to Passions. This is indeed a wonderful place. I hope you enjoy it here half as much as I have. Settle in...this could be home! If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

It’s almost past midnight beyond our dreams, So far it seems almost like morning here. The hours drifted away tonight As I walked with you in another light. I listen in the darkness To a harp and a flute on Spanish rivers, And hear hard rain on the old roof Of the empty house I once lived in. ================================ This is lovely..I enjoyed the assonance of your word play as well as the imagery and romantic intend. Welcome to Poetry Land ...so nice to have you here with us. Ed has spoken highly of your work..I look forward to reading more. No matter what the differences |

Welcome to Passions, OP...from the pen name and the title of the post, I gather the first I will read of you is each morning just after the night before... I do hope you enjoy it here! Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? |

I do things a bit backwards sometimes... so I've already read some of your other work before finding your first... and all I can say is... I saved the best for last. *S* I feel you here and I am with you there… Beyond words, beyond my present cares, Inside your heart I’ll still remain Until we finally meet again. This beauty touches deeply... Wonderful work! |

Will- Welcome to PIP!!!!! I'm sure you're gonna like it here. IF all of your writing is as good as this one, then I am looking forward to reading more. BTW, I used to live in Fullerton. We lived in apartments on Baker Ave and we had a house on Richmond about halfway up the hill... of course, that was when there were still a number of orange groves in the area. Day after day I'm more confused, |
