Connie Marcum Wong Poet Free verse

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.

Paul Callus November 23, 2020 at 2:04 PM 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 Connie Marcum Wong November 23, 2020 at 7:53 PM 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

Vladislav Raven July 27, 2020 at 7:28 AM Hi Connie, another awesome write from your golden pen. As ever, your creativity does shine as does your heart and soul. This is a write of gentle perfection, the words painting such a tender vision, flowing in gentle beauty. Has to be a fav, Connie. Have a wonderful Monday. Hugs....Mike. XX Connie Marcum Wong August 15, 2020 at 4:47 PM 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
