This Thing Called Love - With Maria Williams

Apprehensively I tramp with my lamp - through a path shrouded in gloom Silvery shafts of light entwine and fight through foliage as they creep Gnarled branches twist as I resist their sinister outstretched grabbing reach With a hushed bated breath I move in stealth - to allow the restless spirits sleep I have heard and have feared the ancient Mystical stories that are told Of a fabled cave of age where these immortal spirits abide A sacred and elated reverie this questing soul with them seeks To allow ‘The Oracles’ now - to show where my elusive love hides I have heard it expressed in a blessed rapturous appellation This glowing love from above that eludes this restless yearning child A bliss infused kiss that Celestial Beings have been heard to applaud A connection of perfection that would make Heaven look down and smile In my quest to find the nest of undying unconditional love I search alone to find my throne in the mighty caverns of the sphere May the spirits guide until I find my bride in barren breaths of cold And now I see in this mystic cavity an apparition does appear In a gentle voice I do rejoice and hold captive in their chambers My son are you the one seeking lasting love in our golden grotto I said yes and will you bless my jaded journey thus far I have made We’re beings of infinity descending divinity as above so below I fall to my knees as they say with ease - Feel the vibes of the stone Before you embark look within your heart - Love explodes there and beyond I shed a tear with a cavernous cheer and find where I have failed My soul anew now I'm due for my love to be Spiritually spawned Collaboration...Maria Williams and Winged Warrior-Sept.18.2017 Music by Yakuro – ‘Through The Galaxy’ - Published on Mar 22, 2016 Copyright – Maria Williams and Winged Warrior – September 2017 Thank you, my friend, from down under...you are a beautiful soul and a wonderful talent...an enchantress of write and a princess of poetry...it was magical to work with you again...looking forward toward our next 'deja vu'

A dreamy Mid-Summer's write well done, Marie and WW. The imagery is exquisite and elegance defined. A true poetic duet ... an ethereal collab, you both must have stardust sprinkled on your pens. Pure poetry. Love and smiles forever.
