I Wove You a Poem Uncut

i had a dream and in the dream i wove you a poem
i used the fiber of my character to create spools of silken thread
dipped in the juices of my passion i dyed them in the colors of my imagination
and re-enforced each and every single strand with the strength of my love

spun the spools from the intricacy of my spirit
designed a pattern to the rhythm of the music of my inner thoughts

enamored in your vision
crystal beads gather on my brow
as i toil your finely bred gift
as i braid every part of me
with every memory
into every sliver of fabric

sew in the loving glow emits my flawless dreams
and with my boiling blood initial my woven piece

my work at an end i awake
you lay there a wingless angel 
smiling as if you heard a bell ring
your boundless warmth embraces me

without a touch 
barely 
with just a hint 
i kiss you
so not to disturb your sleep 
and whisper
 'thank you’

Beata Agustin August 21, 2023 at 9:20 AM Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Andrea Dietrich October 13, 2014 at 3:18 PM Maurice, I like the first version better.There were some added phrases in this one I did not find necessary. I just remember liking the other one better. Of course, this one is good too!! Why did you have a cut and uncut version? If you felt the need to cut or edit, then I think you must have known instinctively that it was wise to do that. Good eye!!
