* A collaboration with the awesome Liam McDaid Fair maiden who sails on each crested wave Drawn from the deepest ocean currents Galloping white steeds landing on golden sands Within each beat growing stronger feelings Exploring beauty inside this magically universal dream Developing under every passing moon Joining with shadows we unite souls I see a starlight shining so brightly, blinking Destinies promise to join our kingdoms Each one bringing you closer into the heart A thousand gifts wrapped over and back As silk white ribbons inside out beams upon your grace The greatest pleasure is dancing with your love under the moonlight gaze On the horizon, darkness approaches Ominous storm clouds from the north Fear in your eyes as moon turns black Steeds neigh in the maelstrom Utopian dreamscape becomes Dante's nightmare You release my hand, thunder shakes our universe Lightning illumes the sky casting ghostly shadows I call out to you as you mount your beast But alas, the cacophony drowns out my pleas Waking up the eyes sting, salt based Missing someone special with whom I shared once upon a time Lost inside the loneliness, nowhere to turn Stuck within a bubble of feelings Where someone will never leave or hide away Standing for a moment in the cold morning mist Listening to the crows call Haunting thoughts drift upon a cloud With picture memories stored, deeply beautiful Tonight, I will once again close my eyes and dream of you

Liam has a really unique style. I wish he got more attention but I don't think he interacts much. Thanks CC

A beautiful dream of traveling to a magic land with the beloved and mounting into lovely realms on whimsy wings. Suddenly dropped into a dark space finding yourself alone with your beloved drifting away. This transition is beautifully brought out ! 'Milton nightmare' very sugestive and speaks itself! Great collaboration and wonderful poetry....

Thx Valsa. I originally had "Hitchcockian" nightmare but decided it sounded too contemporary so changed it to Milton

Hello Tom. Allow me to say for all those who do not read what a dark world it must be. This entry is poetry in true fashion and dressed with all elements attached. Congratulations to both writers on such a collaboration and execution. This is breathtaking and an entry that must be read out loud with emphasis and feeling. Thank you both for sharing your talents. Have a wonderful day. Take Care (smile)

"Listening to the crows call Haunting thoughts drift upon a cloud With picture memories stored, deeply beautiful Tonight, I will once again close my eyes and dream of you" -- very nicely done, with profound ending. Congratulations on collaboration.

Once a heart beats in sync with another, darkness, time and space; cannot separate the melody. This is emotional Tom and Liam, yet, beautiful in every way. In dreams, anything is possible, so close your eyes and imagine. :)

Yes, imagine a happier ending. Poor lad is struggling but will never give up. Thx Brandy

I derived immense pleasure from immersing myself in this literary piece, as it evoked a plethora of nostalgic recollections. This extraordinary partnership of words and metaphors has left an indelible impression on me. Your skillful execution of this enchanting poem culminates with a resounding message of optimism, which I find deeply resonating.

now THIS is free verse not prose poetry! it's a seamless collaboration, so well done, and while the archaic romance may not be quite to my taste, i can't deny the charm...

“ tonight once again, i will close my eyes and dream of you” that literally made me tear up truly. This collaboration is one of the best collaborations ive read from you kingy! You’ve nailed it. And i would like to guess your part, the ending? The way you’ve taken your readers through this journey from your storytelling is brilliant, from starlight and beauty of moonlight to ominous clouds and darkness that slowly crawled in, everything about this flows with such poignant and poetic emotions.

Tom Woody

Much thanks Inky. Liam wrote the first and third stanzas. I wrote the second, dark one and the last line. Liam is a true poet. Please check out some of his other writes

OMG, this is such a surreal, miridical, breathtaking and magnificent piece, written with heartfelt emotions, truly expressing the vulnerability of how one person wishes to unite with the beloved in dreams, only to be waken up by gloomy symphonies of realities.. Incinerating all wishes and hopes.. I absolutely love how you both have woven a whimsical tapestry of feelings, imageries, vivid depths and royal ambience.. Almost taking me to a different realm.. Brilliantly done collaboration! Love this
