Breathing in Silence

photo credit unknown

I pause afraid to breathe you in... again...

   knowing you will take my breath... away

     entwining myself in the rhythm of your words

With each inhalation; to the count of eight...

   syllables... my lungs expanding; breathing you...

       deeper into my soul...

     

With each exhalation, emptiness... 

  feeling the space..I long for you to fill..

      in my heart and

             dreams...

I fear I'll awaken and the enchantment will be

 gone.........poetic verses and songs echoing

  through my inner chambers...

    lingering thoughts of who we were/are in this

      realm of life...

knights... dragons.... rose gardens

   sword of thorns and beauty

    crest of rosettes upon my breast...

      remembering; a love untouched...

breathing in the silence of night....

Beneath Winter's Blanket

Winter Landscape by True

beneath winter's moon
blanketing me with your warmth
soaring the heavens

whispering your name
dreaming of a lover's song
my heart touching yours

love a symphony
soothing music to my ears
finding the right key

lost in the movements
my soul melting into yours
entwined poetry

together in tune
salvation in morning light
freedom in our eyes

So Much More Than You Can See

artist unknown

dreaming beneath soft falling snow
in early dawn red rooster crows
on wide wings mysteries unfurl
awakening to a shifting world

creating angels in fields of white
synchronicity with the hawk's flight
watching snowflakes flutter & swirl
awakening to a shifting world

behold a vision of nature's steeples
chanting songs of hope for all people
embracing light, dreams dew-pearled
awakening to a shifting world

A Dream Allegory

Photo by Lacie Slezak on Unsplash

Writing from the book of life he pens a tale
linking and inking imagery with words
leaving pieces of himself along the trail
setting the mood with tantalizing verbs

He enchants her in a dance of words

She enchants him in magical dreams

beneath a starry sky, she gently dreams
connecting with the universe and beyond
caught in a world of symbolism, it seems
storyteller and dreamer naturally bond

may his heart always hold a story

may hers always hold a dream...

together creating a dream-allegory

each on a journey, seeking paradise
their eyes take in the peripheral view
beneath golden moon, speechless in flight
he touches her inside in that place of blue

He enchants her in a dance of words

She enchants him in magical dreams

kindred souls breathing life into the night
airbrushing poetry across the sky
in an unknown tongue, verses they write
lost in the moment, dreams in their eyes

may his heart always hold a story

may hers always hold a dream...

together creating a dream-allegory
