Perchance To Dream

Welcome to my abode, my love Be it at height of sunlight Or in the darkest night. If the need comes into my dreams, Or create for me hallucinations, Virtual creations of your beautiful self. However you decide, just come, All I need is your presence Ethereal or physical as you like. See the eventide is shrouded in mist As swallows search their cosy nests. Frost claws into the earth Hell-bent on destruction, You have such a haven here That's warm and loving and full of care. I wait, will you come closer to me? I tire, do I feel your fingers in my hair? I sleep, is that your kiss on my warm lips? I wake, I know 'twas all but a dream.

Oh, Victor, beautiful and sad, so filled with love. I cannot help but believe she was able to visit you from heaven. If I pass away before the love of my life I would be there for him every chance I could from heaven to see that he is ok if God permits. My heart hurts as I read your beautiful poem of undying love for your precious wife.

I can feel the pain of her loss in this one. She is there in spirit even though she has a new home in heaven. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara

Absolutely brilliant, heartfelt poetry: "See the eventide is shrouded in mist As swallows search their cosy nests. Frost claws into the earth Hell-bent on destruction, You have such a haven here That's warm and loving and full of care." I think also that is the way God calls to us!
