Dreams

A mind at peace with all below she is beauty such so ever bright Smile to win the hearts that glow a wonder to the sight

Lucy Hamilton Princess of Ireland.

Another life I dream of now

thoughts of others nay-ere to wed

Where love has waited on the bow

shown in beauty of all she said

 

I watched as she descended stairs

and dreamed the world was none but gay

With her my life had lost the cares

where we would dance the night away

 

The witted banter of close friends

then came the music swaying crowds

As dreams of love that never ends

on high the heaven’s streaming clouds

 

From marbled hall and wooded glade

of noble thoughts I was endowed

For love of her my heart had stayed

a life un-wavered and un-bowed

To he whom ever loved so true

we bless the winds of salvation

Red tresses flow in green eyed hue

oh this wonder of creation

Author's Note

Oh who can say what they would do if the winds had only blown them to distant shores. I wrote this of the dreams of another life not lived. I do not believe we are only able to love one person in life. I think there are thousands whom we might fall in love with if the time and place were right. It is the fates that leads us to our destiny. And this is just a thought on how life could be different if the winds had blown the opposite direction.

You, my dear, are a hopeless romantic; and I love it! It seems you like women as well as love them, this is a very desirable trait in the male of the species, and all too rare.
I believe you are correct, actually, I know you are correct, you can love more than one person. (Hopefully, not at the same time. LOL)

IT IS SO PURE...
AN INNOCENT THOUGHT...
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO AMAZING...

[Richard Williams]

Beautifully expressed, and fine enjoyable read.

[Bard Constantine]

Very creative, tight rhyme scheme... love the sentiments expressed. I believe very much the same... so many special people, and only time and chance to arrange their fates... how I could have loved, how I could have been loved... excellent writing...

[R J Askew]

You are so right in your note ... it is the way nature makes us. But then to be loved is ... sigh. And to love is ... sigh.

Wonderful. The flow is fantastic and the emotion is absolutely evocative. I am extremely impressed with this love poem. I find it the absolute hardest subject to write about because it is experienced differently by everyone. However, I think that you have a poem that is both from your heart, and touches the heart of anyone who would read the poem. Amazing. Thank you for sharing it here and letting me read your work
All the best
