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)

This is a very peaceful and romantic piece. well done!

[Poetic Beauty]

this poem flows well like all your other poems. I love the line about the woman descending the stair. Make me think of another time long ago before I was born. This is a true tribute to the person that you love.

Ohh i liked this my friend,so many times it occured to me..the thought
its love so true should always be and stay..i always loved her,all time
but then again ,there were Mary ,sweet Mary and others
the thought of tickled my mind,it used to oscillate from one to the other
and i always rewind,back and forth ,who is the one,i just loved ..all
i am at loss ,only one heart loved too many,but will never break any heart
she knew ,they knew,a heart not made to hurt..still so weak for all
it fell for all and just could not choose..one will win the others at times
then its the others times to score,and i am still lost for i loved them all
its a great idea you touch on here ,i always thought of that
too many sweet hearts so how could i fall only for one
a mystery i could never resolve..always tried
lovely write..
