Through the Silence

~ dreams, dreams, dreams...~

art by Aranza Sestaya

 

 

When faith was lost, hope like raindrops fell

upon the stillness of a moonless night

and stars that once trembled with romance

dimmed within the shadows of a dream

 

Yet it was this dream that made you mine

as somehow through the silence you found me

You praised me with your eyes, your touch, love’s breath

fanned by a healing wind ‘pon beauty torn

 

With cheeks afire, aflame within my heart

the taste so sweet, your kiss upon my lips

I held you to my breast, a vision warm

‘til all lay golden in the wake of dawn

 

It was your love, though never mine to keep

flowing through my veins, when hope was found

in the stillness of a moonless night

in the silence of a lovely kiss

Painfully beautiful, just like the dream you evoke here...you set the scene so perfectly with the moonless but starry night...I also loved 'til all lay golden in the wake of dawn'...so many gorgeous images here, too many to single out...another lovely and lilting romantic piece...great work as always Julie :)

This is such a romantic piece. The imagery and descriptive nature of this piece really feeds the imagination and personally for me hits me right in the heart for what you describe is a unique feeling of love and lust coupled with emotion deep from the heart.

Really warming piece

i lke this...sharing the beauty of love, but knowing we cannot own it....we might lease it for a time...but it is not ours to own...no beauty is...not of nature nor of human nature.
