..with timorous gaze

eyes still see

but want to feel

with lowered lids

shutting out the

world of real

and visiting one

of fantasy

for then to have

what lone soul

sore craves

the love

your love

that sweeps

in waves of ecstacy

o'er me

in bed of clouds

a floating

close to the sun

for warmth

the moon

for shadowy light

adorning night

when you and I

sweep the sky

with the twinkling stars

of sweet desire

and then the fire

of brand-new dawn

as our love

breathes on

and on

for your love to know

gives an angels' glow

to a world

before so dark

music played

with fingers splayed

on strings

of heavenly harp

and sung

from the heart

of a meadowlark

it is the breath

you breathe

that feeds my being

my lowered lids

veil what is real

for I can live

in the dream,

you see

it is enough

through

your loves' touch

it is enough

Barbara, I'm so glad you're releasing these emotions in such a lovely way. The 13th. was the anniversary of Norm's death - 12 years - and I still miss him. Treat yourself kindly. Marie

I'm beginning to become a fan. Who would have guessed that a few of you would wear me down and teach me to enjoy poetry?

Barbara, this is so pregnant with heartfelt emotion-longing, grieving, loving, and determination to choose the joy of remembering in spite of the pain over shutting that part down to avoid hurting.

What a beautiful poem about a wrap around, secure and infinite love.

The only way to keep loving is to do what you are doing, and you're doing it so beautifully,.

This is a lovely poem, Barbara... I remember that day well... :)

in bed of clouds
a floating
close to the sun
for warmth
the moon
for shadowy light
adorning night
when you and I
sweep the sky
with the twinkling stars
of sweet desire
and then the fire
of brand-new dawn
as our love
breathes on
and on

I'd go there in a flash...
It'd be beautiful there...
