On your lips - this one is for you darling

"A Dream within a Dream" - Edgar Allan Poe - and my words

Take this kiss upon the brow!

And, in parting from you now,

Thus much let me avow "

You are not wrong, who deem

That my days have been a dream;

Yet if hope has flown away

In a night, or in a day,

In a vision, or in none,

Is it therefore the less gone?  

All that we see or seem

Is but a dream within a dream.

Edgar Allan Poe - 1850

I saw promises beyond dreamed

Upon seconds of the seamless night.

As the tides of your guitar sang

On those lips well keeping.

Prevent what might have been too was said

It is you that the heart embers for.

Inside my mind are words of your spell

Enchanting my being into quiet solitude.

Standing in your shade as the sky breaks

Ranges of too many found within.

Torment the soul in silence as you are

Near me is the dream within the sky.

Ship my head to the Atlantic ocean

For all i see in a moment of your glare.

Bright as the mourning of all my days

You remain the dreaming sea.

Some lived for the essence of doing light

Clearly it is you in all.

I think this is better than Poe
Admittedly I do not know
But reading your verses
And stifle my curses
Someday my knowledge may grow

I agree with Coyote, I love reading you poem and Poe together. When we realize a dream is not coming the way we had envisioned we must look towards a new dream.

Well Done!
