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)

I have been blessed to be led by God to these dreams you pen here and her name is Milagros(miracles). Dreams do come true but not by accident, we must work at making them real. I've read some comments that after years go by in a marriage we must expect that romance will turn a little gray. I can testify this is a false premise. I and my wife work hard to keep life spicy, make goals together such ås; having daily prayer even if it is over the phone, sending notes, texts expressing our love also on a daily basis. We adamantly seek out new adventures for birthdays and anniversaries. Love is like a flowing river that needs to be kept from damming up, a flower that needs constant nourishment. All our children are grown and now we have grandchildren and I feel more in love with my wife everyday. Often in pray I ask the Lord to always help me keep my thoughts only upon my wife and no other women(my career takes me far away from her for days at a time). I always tell myself that when I am residing in heaven I want to look back and say I took every opportunity to love and be with my wife. That's why the little things like watching a movie at home on a Saturday night and hold her in my arms is so important.

[Tate Morgan]

I agree with that assessment as i myself work at it I stay up every night waiting on my wife to get home.it is not easy it is not meant be but the best things are not always the easiest They demand something of us not to receive but to give mare than we take.Thank you

[Michael G. Smith]

Exactly, I find when I do things to make her feel loved I get a deep spiritual satisfaction I wouldn't quite get if I done the thing that I like for myself. This is because putting someone else before our own needs means we are serving the Lord. I wish everybody could learn this, but I guess that is why we are examples in action and in poetry.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you Its nice to know I am not the only one feels this way.

[annie lee]

lordy -- 77 reviews and you want me to read it! I am flattered. You believe in romantic love: it is clear and your expression of that love is eloquent. I also believe that one can develop affinities for more than one person throughout our lives. The other night my husband was explaining to our daughter (as our 41st is near), that romantic love turns into something else as the years go by -- almost like a business partnership or the board of a corporation. That is a very rational way to express it. My husband is good and kind, but hardly demonstrative or emotional. My daughter worries that his demeanor means he is uncaring, but I think we managed to make her understand that raging streams of youthful emotion mature into wide lazy rivers as the years go by.

[Tate Morgan]

Oh that is the perfect way to explain it we always remember the raging hormones of youth but truly it is the mature love of adulthood that gives comfort to the soul thank you

[Mockingbird]

loving, vivid description for this girl in his dream. conveys much emotions. great job.

[Sunni Davis]

Fate and dreams are mysterious things at times. I like this poem. Its very whimsical and filled with longing. Its beautiful.

[Tate Morgan]

Well longing yes but for what I do not know. Thanks

[Sunni Davis]

Its difficult to remember clearly what lives we led in the past. A lot of people, myself included, go through each life searching and longing for something. I think thats why we keep coming back, to another life, until we find that thing or person we've longed for.

[Tate Morgan]

Well it is huiman nature to want what we never knew and never had

[Frieda P]

Destiny and fickle fate, you pen it well Tate.

[Tate Morgan]

Well I only say to myself What if? But as you know there are reasons to pick one path over another. And while there a attraction to the wild side and it has an allure almost hypnotic It takes only a little foresight to see the end is not worth the risk.

[Frieda P]

Sure that's easy for you to say after you sowed all those wild oats lol

[Tate Morgan]

lol you slay me I have slipped the bonds of temptation and came out in the end a survivor that is all

[Dayran]

The witted banter draws my attention and fixes its gaze on the beauty you describe ... it makes me think I can do a million things with her. But as always she seems to shrug it off as if to say ... ' what's a girl to do with all these?'

A side to you I didn't catch earlier Tate ... the fates do lead our destinies sometimes. Nice write.

[Tate Morgan]

This is a side rarely indulge It is no good to think what if. Truth is I took the road most valued by me Thank You

[zainul]

I adore your dream however tempting it might be.
You are a human and temptation is always free.

[Tate Morgan]

Temptation almost always leads to regret However better regret than lament I think I made the right choice.Thank you

[zainul]

You have made the right choice,my dear faithful friend.
You are not lamenting now,we all know at the end.

[Tate Morgan]

no i am very happy now thank you

[zainul]

This is the real thing that we aspire for.

[Tate Morgan]

i agree it is

[SyberRose]

Sometimes the grass is always greener but only meant to admire from afar...
thought provoking as always...Nicely done Tate...Rose:)

[Tate Morgan]

We all know the grass isnt really greener It just looks so through the rose colored glasses of hindsight Thank you

[Rene Velez]

great piece Tate, there has been a change within you and it shows, seems like your in a good place, well done my friend.

[Tate Morgan]

Thank you I am in a good place a life undaunted and unbruised

[Abdul Aziz]

This is quite different from your usual poetry, but I like it nonetheless. A little more ethereal and a little less beautiful than your other writes. Good to read you again, though!

[Tate Morgan]

LOL Well that maybe because it is a lost opportunity.Thank you
