Your Voice Will Know a Day

Your voice cannot know a day that lifts the golden veil from your heart
Because love is where I have seen, you look in your sleep
To claim for your very own to rule the world from broken dreams
A forbidden sight I could not help but remember
Or in sympathy, to keep

I watch you smell the burning boredom of your lost child within
Who not so long ago moved away from the flame
Removing what seemed to be shackles from your smile
Between all I see you do, that says goodbye
To an endless sea of blame

I see you again patiently holding the experience of just one kiss
Next to your dark pledge which is losing all meaning
Covered in a simple cloth that when raised reveals a truth
Which your heart cannot stand to breathe in
As the destiny you are receiving

If you will be kind to these rivers that whisper softly within me
Hold them in place when your rivers start roaring
Your voice will know a day that lifts that veil from your heart
As it is granted in a breath upon your cheek
You will be pleased in knowing

I see you again patiently holding the experience of just one kiss
Next to your dark pledge which is losing all meaning
Covered in a simple cloth that when raised reveals a truth
Which your heart cannot stand to breathe in
As the destiny you are receiving

Outstanding verse and great poem... it only takes one feel of love to light up the darkness.

[Ladysue]

The tone so soft and sensual...exquisite...each verse falling into the other so beautifully and affectionately. What amazing phrases...this is just stunning...

this is a great piece! the imagery is brilliant - it all flows and there are some great lines too - in particular - "I watch you smell the burning boredom of your lost child within" - so many thoughts this presents! nice!

So beautiful my friend, love reaching from out of our deepest dreams.

[Chloe..Across the Unive..]

Seems waiting for someone to 'wake up' - The poem is beautiful the sentiments are both sad and beautiful... but there seems a patience waiting for kindness.And patience is a virtue.
