Soft Whispers

I hear your voice across the 
     boundaries of time
In faint whispers as I lie 
     in slumber at night. 
Death may not separate nor 
     still our precious bond.
Let me feel the warmth of your 
     breath on my ears and neck
And feel you as close to me 
     as my beating heart.

Visit me, my darling, in sweet
     dreams as ardent as reality.
Dreams that will stay with me
     in love’s vivid memories.
I will keep longing and listening
     for those whispers of love
Until I rejoin you at the gates
     of God’s heavenly realm
Where the light of our souls will
     blend with music’s harmony.

This sounds as if you were living in the future, Connie...a premonition, perhaps, of a loved one who has passed away? I can also feel the bond of love in these beautiful words of longing. A special poem which merits a fav. ~ Warm regards // paul

I wrote this knowing my husband didn't have much time left and I kept it to myself. I haven't been able to write since his passing. Thank you for honoring it with a Fave Paul. I miss him every day. Blessings xxoo

Your heart and soul expresses such a deep and loving longing that transcends the limitations of this physical world. Love lives on in dreams and comfort is in the knowledge of the ultimate reunion to come. The intimacy of this tender piece takes my breath away. Warmest wishes, dear poetess, and may you always have the sweetest of dreams.. ~Susan

I wrote this for my late husband a month and a half before he passed. We both knew he hadn't much time left. I never showed it to him. He came to me in a beautiful romantic dream the night he died. It was the last time I saw him alive. Thank you for the fave. It means a lot to me to know you like it so much. Blessings xxoo
