Constance La France Poet Lyric

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

Duke Beaufort November 12, 2015 at 12:44 PM 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. Constance La France November 12, 2015 at 1:53 PM 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 ~
