A Journey To the Pearly Gates and Back Again

Iris sun fades and so does the day whispers the carried in the silence of night glowing Wishes floating on silver trails faraway The image of your face will forever bounded to this world Angels Brought you to me made a lightening sparkling diamonds in the misting treasures gems so bright Ice roses turns into a steaming jungle of quivering glass Flashing in the distance, in the moon light and all of its stars, that's where the angels dancing A beautiful adventure picture sparklers on a winter night A cold moon dressed in dark velvet with a pearl milky white smile beams Sparkling jewel crystal lights up stars blinking silver awakening warm invading darkness your light My life has at last found its light and its hope Soulful cries a wolf dressed in winter clothes faraway over ocean waves carries in a wind’s whisper sweet music dances A magical night that will set the spirit free Silently breathes out a puff of magic sweetly beauty enchants warmly etching strikes frosted fingers cracking ice deeply echoes Striking inside bells toll warmly skipping drumbeats bouncing of chamber walls loving tunes Believing in your love a dream Which enchants music of the butterflies dance howling clouds out steaming warm sighs fluttering warmly I closed my eyes at the end of the road and thought of the stars and the reason earth spins around the sun A co write written by Liam Mcdaid and Anne- Lise Andresen :) - 28.12.2014 - Copyright © All Rights Reserved

Given a 7, complimenting the free verse style, definitely a very strong influence by Liam in this one.

For whom my bells will toll As God on high calls His roll Both your and my name are on To haven again we have gone. But here for now are you and I And the wayside we went by Was like you pleasant and pure Which forever I want to endure. From all sin are free at last Thoughts passed by of the past; About my life of all that is true Is how much love I have for you. Jim Horn Your poem was great, lovely, handsome and beautiful like the both of you are.
