In Garden of Dreams, As Dawn Awakens

In Garden Of Dreams, As Dawn Awakens

Dare I live with love and thus take Heavenly flight 
To sup away nectar of a cool summer night
All is not so, not as it so appears
Dare I dream it so through my falling tears?

Alas! She that feasted here has now fled
Leaving behind a heart so deeply bled
A love refusing to curse her and quit
I drink that sweet nectar cup- all of it.

In garden of dreams as dawn awakens
Dwells she that was so far away taken
Dare I, to her soft calls in haste thus go
Into paradise where her love winds blow?

Dare I live with love and thus take Heavenly flight 
To sup away nectar of a cool summer night?

Thank you my friend. Youth had its advantages. Biggest one was innocence and a feeling that hundreds of years lay ahead. Reality later knocked and said- "Believe that at your own peril"...God bless..

Thank you my friend. This was written long ago. I was a very young 25 years old back then. Had not yet drawn my blade and fought the many battles that were yet to come.. God bless..
