Love Poetry: Dreaming Away (revised)

by Cynthia
(Crawfordsville, IN, United States)

'Something is calling me away from this day

A shining light or a shade of lavender



I sail this salty ocean of memories

and plunge for the precious pearls of days gone by

For dreams kept alive by the danger and heat and holy flame

A royal sun lingers there weaving sacred spells into your silken hair

As I softly incant your simple name

I return to an eternal embrace

Where you and I blend perfectly into a holy trinity

This sheltering embrace that cannot be erased by time or tears

I return to the peace and perfection of your eyes meeting mine

Wisdom working just beneath your warm,youthful skin

Burning within your mind

Each day we found new as morning flowers drenched with dew

And contemplated each petal poignantly as though it were poetry

We inhaled the scent of unity



So something beckons me away on this bare, wind stripped day

Days and dreams now distant as Saturn

A tinge of sepia in autumns elegant elegy

I descend to find buried treasure

And gather together this colorful symphony of sublime kisses and strong sinews

Days when love welcomed me flowing on endlessly like a river merges with the sea



Days when magic and miracles came so easily

As surely as our hands and hearts have the power to shape destiny

Days when love was passionate as a prayer

And the sun shined brilliantly

In the sweet sapphire skies



And so time has told me a story of love

Earnestly and honestly showing my true reflection

Giving me the secret of eternity to guide my way

Truthfully and gracefully



My bones become burdened as my love is made stronger

The cold becomes bitter as my hopes are made sweeter

My body grows older

But my prayers are purified

My heart fuller

My songs bolder

And so another day passes away

Nothing more than a brush stroke or a single note in the divine masterpiece



Love is here inside me and in everything around me

I hide away with it kept warm by whispers of gentle strength

Love is all that is needed

It is the power of the earth and the peace of heaven

And the dreams you share with me are noble as a lions heart

I wade with you willingly into ruby fields

The answer to every question is this love

The key to every mystery is our love

The amen to every prayer and every omen from above

Is our lasting love'
