As Midnight Moon Shines Upon Her Eyes

As Midnight Moon Shines Upon Her Eyes


In a dream world where fantasies abound
shall be where my princess is found
Wrapped in her vision an angelic choir
cherubs singing her heart's desire

Her voice soothes every hearing soul
spreading happiness her daily goal
As midnight moon shines upon her eyes
a thought comes to me so very wise

Surely she could come to me down here
easing my hurt, wash away my fear
A soft gentle touch to my spirit renew
help me find a love any man is due

In a dream world such fantasies exist
your heart's desire, anything on your list

Note, 1/27/2015 - Modern sonnet, written when my soul was lost
and seeking the path back into happiness, back into a world devoid of misery, heartache and pain.
That night I bowed my head and asked for help. Best decision I ever made. 
For in faith I had then put my trust , over that of my foolish vanity and insufferable pride!
Now looking back, I see the answer came ever so swiftly..
This poem comes from my "private collection" (intended for my children) after my demise and 
is now presented for the first time for others to read..
That night I dreamed of a dark hair angel that came to me and helped me return to the world of the living.
Thats her in my picture given here. My wife now of ten beautiful and happy years!
Bountiful extra blessing of a beautiful son we now share !

Robert!! A most wondrous sonnet write here indeed!! This one's an instant Super Seven and a FAV with me!! (I plan to read more of you works in the future. I took a break from my book review and editing this PM to take a quick peak at your poems.) I never worry at all when I read your works because they are "Best of the Best!!" Best Always, Gary (P.S. The next 3 weeks are crazy for me until I can get my stuff out to my publisher. Best - GB)

A well written poem with strong emotions. The strength of your words is rivaled only by their beauty as they roll their way off the page and into the reader's heart and soul. Well done. Emile #7
