Murmured Words of Love

The dream comes gliding Murmured words Out of dappled swirling light The dream I dread but also need I struggle to get away At the same time breathlessly calling for him I embrace the dream I am the dream It always starts the same Unfolding in a snowstorm The sliding of the car then the crash My dream spirit is there Long raven hair blowing, floating And the book of destiny opens It is written His departing cold fingers caress my skin His dead lips kiss me And the snow is falling Then all is quiet, peaceful His name engraved for eternity I am shivering as real and dream entwine And the crying, a haunting moaning Drifts endlessly Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight Deep in my dream I see his earthly face Entwined in his arms we rival the wind Even eternal death cannot break this love Soaring over lakes that stretch forever Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight Up we glide on his majestic wings Where cliffs rise a thousand feet We hover at his resting place My tears falling and kissing his tomb Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight Deep inside the dream we fly as one It is only in dreams that he dwells Until the pastel violet of dawn comes creeping Come my darling, says my love, come fly tonight And after I wear a mourning cloak, how heavy it is And the crying, a haunting moaning Drifts endlessly _____________________ April 4, 2013 Poetry/Lyric/Murmured Words of Love Copyright Protected, ID 13-724-983-0 All Rights Reserved.

You have had more than your fair share of sorrows. And so, I must send you a pulse of positive energy. I don't know if there is any science behind it, but I am sending a good wave out to find you in whatever space these things exist in. You have a elegance in your sorrow. Sometimes, we have the chance to have a re-do. Perhaps this is what your dreams are trying to tell you. That it is possible.

Duke, thanks for the lovely comment, oh yes my life has been tangled, destined to sorrow, but I was told once that my sorrow made me the poet I am, and I think that is the good of all this writing of sad events, actually the day my father died, on hour later I was connected to my muse and left the little girl writing silly lines and became a poet with soul ~
