Reverie's Design




There is a place I visit
that you and I have shared
Alone in muse's calling,
I often find you there

I find you there in dreamlight
in golds and greens, subdued
My hands, your face, caressing,
Your warmth, my skin's renewed

The tender trance of breathing
so close, in touch and song
Our dreams have come awaking
No more, need we prolong

You take me to your lap there,
your eyes glow candlefire
Our blood ignites with touching
Pulsing pounds us with desire

I face you in my longing,
and feel yours climbing high
The throbbing point of passion,
never more can we deny

   ~   ~   ~

And in the afterwhispers
when greens and golds decline

I ache to realize, my love,
'twas reverie's design



Dear LadyClaire

oh the things you do with that poetic pen of yours...this is perfection Claire...
truly, your words have such a calming peaceful effect on me...
take care, jm

 and you can say baby...
baby can I hold you tonight
maybe if told you the right words...
at the right time,
you'd be mine...
baby can I hold you tonight...

Oh, Claire~
This is so lovely.
The nicest things happen by dreams 'design'.
Your quill is moving across the page
with enchanting beauties from your heart.

If I understood the finest compliments of poetry style and expression I would extend them all to you for the wonderful poetry you write.
I hope to write like you someday.
also, thank you for responding to my poem.

A lovely poem

Claire..you take a dream and make it real. This is so touching and so beautifully written.
In the afterwhispers....I really love that line.

Rex...I do feel fortunate to have this dream, but alas, that is all it is...merely phantasy's finding. I thank you, so, for reading.

Seymour...thank you, dear poet, for being so nice.

Janet Marie...to elicit a peacefulness in one who reads my work brings pleasure to me. Thank you, in earnest, for your response.

Nan...thank you, for reading, enjoying, and letting me know.  

Marge...what I find enchanting are your lovely responses to poetry that moves you. Thank you so much.

Danny...no matter, for I do not understand them either. That you read my poem and found it worthy of a response is all the compliment I could wish for. Thank you, sincerely.

Ruth...I'm glad. Yours find that same chord in mine.  

Denise...thank you. That you can feel it makes the writing worthwhile. I'm so glad you enjoyed this.

Tess...thank you...I find golds and greens to be such inspiring colours. I'm awfully glad you enjoyed reading this piece. Thank you for your kind commentary.

David2...your reply was very lovely, as well. Thank you for letting me know that you enjoyed this poem.

Michael...I don't want to sweep you "too" far away, stay close where I can read your work!   Thanks for reading, my friend.

WildChild...Thank you, in earnest, for your generous comment. This dream, to me, "is" sometimes real. I guess we all have our share of those, don't we? I'm glad to know you enjoyed this.

Martie...and I love the way "you" write. I thank you for reading this and offering such encouraging words today.  

~ Claire

Somewhat taking from Robert Frost,
"No passion in the writer, no passion in the reader."   Anyone reading this beautiful expression of thought will have their passion cups overflowing.  Beautiful poetry.
