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 :)

Longing here is palpable and exquisitely pen'd, as always my fanciful friend. :)

How beautifully romantic with the ache of letting something so magical go.. Sometimes things are only meant to serve a purpose and once they have done that, then it is time for them to go.. Letting go is always the hard part.. It feels as if we are losing a part of ourselves.. The fear of not having it in your life.. The longing for what once was, those feelings of happiness, of being whole, of comfort... enchanting as always girl...

Love is the nutrient of life. It lifts us up and inspires as your poetry does. The his took me to that state of limbo where hosts of love dare to hold us; a state of suspended animation if you will. This like that place if you wander to longer the fondness may turn into pain.

Thank you for your kind words Michael :) Julie

You write poetry so beautifully in so many different ways by putting your heart and soul into them, it is a beautiful gift so few of us have. Your words speak volumes of your true thoughts and feelings so loudly and yet as softly as a silence whisper can be.
