Constance's Eleven Beautiful Words Contest * 4/15/25

We close our eyes when we sleep, imagine, kiss, and pray because the most beautiful things can not be seen, they are felt with the heart. ~ Sweet Dream Love Quotes In dreams I call your name, and slowly you come to me For the first time I see your smile; the light in your eyes It's a mischievous little boy grin, but not quite innocent I think of it as the crescent moon on a warm summer night I've not heard your voice, but I sense its timbre is deep except when you ever so softly whisper my name as I sleep It's always the fullness of your lips that draw my stare and I feel the need to move closer until I can inhale you There's an ache throbbing inside me, threatening my sanity until the beggar in me transforms reticence into temerity If you sleepwalk, whisper my name and I will find you

Lin, the passion you describe is very strong indeed. How you transcribe what you feel into words has me in awe. I know we're all different, but we can also appreciate how wonderful the variety of styles makes us just love life. Smiles!!

Writing from life's experiences and emotions gives a pen lifeblood of its own. I just keep it filled with ink. Thank you, Duke.

Awwn how achingly beautiful is this dear linnersz! I love the picture youv used and also how youv written this in such a deeply moving and heartfelt manner! I especially love the lines “ I think of it as the crescent moon on a warm summer night” ah touching! “ If you sleepwalk, whisper my name and I will find you” cosmically soulful! And the quote too is so beautiful! A very well expressed poem! That made my heart quiver! Pleasure reading you! Best wishes! Sending you light always

Thank you very much for your lovely lines of review, Ink. I'm sure I'd sleep much more if writing a poem could make it so. ;-)

I enjoyed this poem, Lin! … I think of it as the crescent moon on a warm summer night… but I sense its timbre is deep except when you ever so softly whisper my name… If you sleepwalk, whisper my name and I will find you…

It's the romantic nature of my heart that was holding my pen. Thank you, Kim.
