Notes About The Poem

Entry for The Dramatize the Desires Poetry Contest: Sponsored by: Ink Empress  Date wrote 7th May 26

Hold me in your Heart

Dear, hold me in your heart she breathed
as he caressed her earthly frame;
she held his sword, as yet unsheathed
for though I not yet know your name
nor ever recognize your face
each night between the eve and dawn
you do descend, and we embrace
my Oberon, and I, your fawn.
The days too long till bliss of night
when sleep does, longing close my eyes
and I can feel your stiffened might.
Now, hold me in your heart, she sighs;
and let me never wake again
just sleep, in pleasure and in pain.

Dear Terry, This is such a sensual and such a mystical poem that flows with such strong desires, almost like one thats suppressed and arrives in states of forbidden dreams! Youv written one that is truly very impressive and soulful! I especially love the opening here and your use of " Oberon" here is unique! Clever! Absolute pleasure placing this first in my contest, sending you light, always! Fave it is! Thank you for joining my contest.
