Are you real, or a specter of my dreams?
Your face shines like the morning star,
a reflection from just over the horizon.
Will you stay or will you fade with the morning fog?
Such a long time and so many frustrations yet through force of will a
flame remained kindled. Like a long burning candle hope melted down
slumping to the side as the weight of failure piled ever so much higher.
After thirty six years of searching it is not fair,
And all I can say is sorry I wasn't there,
Tto pick you up when you fell down,
To see your eyes go from blue to brown,
Where do I find all the joy and the passion
that a man and a woman possess when they are in love?
How do I reach that place where a smile takes the place of the sun?
When I talk with you, when I look at you, my heart wells with emotion,
Another season dies, and hope fades with Autumns frost.
Speak softly, and smile on me, as I gaze at Sol's demise.
There is no warmth from that golden globe, yet I fear not, I fear not.
The end will come unannounced, but not without warning.
Gliding on a silver ribbon you invaded my dreams.
Slipping past my defenses you held me at your mercy.
Spicing and enticing, we did things unspoken,
Things never mentioned in the light of day.
Putting it all on the line for their country,
They stepped forward when others would baulk
Facing their fears they keep moving forward
Their eyes ever watchful for those that they stalk
What was that sound whispering in the wind?
I fear it was my youth fading with the light
Whose proud passions lit up the night,
And flaunted every fair maidens virtue?
Her eyes held me trapped, blue azure pools of mirth,
But in her innocence her smile swallowed my heart
I did not ask, but I knew what my heart was thinking
Still there was no mercy in the timing for the old should know better.
She says that she's simple, though I know she's complex.
Always reaching, always seeking, the Isle of the Blessed.
Determined to live life with only the best.
She's my friend, Erin O'Eire.
What was that sound whispering in the wind?
I fear it was my youth fading with the light.
Whose proud passions lit up the night,
And flaunted every fair maidens virtue?
The love between us is the incoming tide crashing upon the shore.
When it storms we seek shelter from the deafening intensity in the recesses of our minds.
When it's calm, we share the gentle lapping serenity of sharing times.
Lightly nibbling ear lobes in the shadow of your hair.
Holding hands in public, without a single care.
Blowing in your ear and nibbling on your neck.
Gently probing fingers, going up your back.
As I sit here reading all of the comments on several artists poems,
I envision myself sitting at the top of Notre Dame in France, a Gnome.
The people I admired in my youth, as I was growing up, found humor in the most mundain things.
