Dove Eyes

Her soft words Fluttered around me Like a dove Her eyes wooed my heart My mind as she took me Into the moonlight Where a thousand harps Synchronized on the breeze Over my mind My longings Stringing me into her dreams A place where my feet Could never touch the ground I danced on mars And Saturn’s rings Spinning out of control Till I realized It was but a dream Her lips were never mine But an elusive promise Born of the wind The wind will take her Tumbling Where it will I have to let her go My sweet pain Lest there is nothing Left of me In this vast desert plain Where stars pierce the night And day brings only sorrow Where rivers rarely flow Where jackals call To the moon For their mate And I am left alone On the dark side Of the moon © Brenda V Northeast 2011
