Shadow of Dreams

Escapades of love in sunsets glow

Her auburn hair with sunsets glow 

in a tempest of a lovers soul... 

the milk of human kindness in her sigh 

she swept the sands of time... 

Ships with sails of lustful laughter 

against a silhouette of sapphire blue...  

embracing the sea and sailors dreams 

of mermaids bathing on rugged rocks... 

The breast of waves rises to a crescendo 

of thunder and lightening in never  

ending escapades where 

dreamers reach their Shangri la...

Wonderful use of words dear Pat.
"Ships with sails of lustful laughter
against a silhouette of sapphire blue...
embracing the sea and sailors dreams
of mermaids bathing on rugged rocks.."
I loved the above lines. Powerful and worthwhile words create nice visions of ocean and mermaids. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

There is a time for discovery when the shadows in the Sea bring forth a legend of
stoic beauty. truly, Pat

Dear Pat, aye its the high seas on this one so eloquently written, this could be an advertisement for to be shipwrecked on a paradise island. Lovely work as always.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... Mermaids and an Island paradise is a sailors dream come true with coconuts and pineapples too. It is a sunny Sunday here in Fredericksburg, Virginia by the Rappahannock River... think I will sit on a rock and dream... Your review is lovely. Pat

Wonderfully written, Pat.

Such soulful and delicate imagery throughout. The journey of the traveller, the adventurer, the dreamer is never complete without the love and passion of a beautiful soul. For it drives one onwards to realms beyond the horizon.

This makes me relate to the importance of the muse. For it is the muse who drives the poet to ever greater heights of poetic wonder.

A wonderful piece.

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Doodley... a muse is in our heart of hearts ... left by those who have touched our soul... the scent of the sea... the fragrance of a flower... the power of a gentle wind. I appreciate the aura surrounding your review. truly, Pat

[redzone]

magical, simply magical... Pat, a lyrical poem filled with 'lustful laughter" and sweet dreams, doesn't get too much better than this...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Curt... sails with lustful
Laughter and sailors dreams at mermaids at sea... It is a legend that lives on. Thanks for reading and your kind words. truly, Pat

[emmajoy]

Charming, romantic, gentle and sincere - your poem is all that and more, Patricia. There's something magical about the sea - its movement perhaps. Or is it its moods, the way that little or nothing can control it.. rather like Love. Beautiful thoughts here

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... thanks for reading Shadow of Dreams... Mermaids are real as long as Sailors dream. truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Emma... I adore the thought of love being like the mood of the ocean... “the way that little or nothing can control it”.
as ever, Pat

"The breast of waves rises to a crescendo

[Sami Khalil]
