Asleep she lays on sacred field,
Angelic glow about her beams,
Draped in white my heart doth yield,
Far beyond my mortal dreams.
~
I fathom not why me she chose,
Undeserving, I most surely be,
Heavenly creature beyond paling rose,
This fool adrift on earthly sea.
~
I kneel before thy silken throne,
In prayer to one, the God most high,
For kindness that he hath shown,
This gift of you– without I’d die.
~
I know not where this path might lead,
Or when my love we forever part,
Cherishing time, its waste doth bleed,
Forever alive within my heart.
~
Sleep well my love in tender dream,
Assured through faith that I lie by your side,
To hold you forever in highest esteem,
This sacred promise by which I abide.
~

Very beautiful! And I’ve told you before, haven’t I, how much i enjoy your longer poems. Thanks :)
Thank you Anna, I have been doing more longer ones lately…I guess I’m just in a chatty mood. :)
*sniffle. Again.
I’m glad that you liked it Ionia, but I didn’t mean to make you cry. )
It was a lovely cry
I’m glad…now its Friday…be happy. :)
This is another beautiful poem Dom. I love it.
Thank you Julian. :)
Oh my friend – you are absolutely gifted! I love this piece!
Thank you so much Belinda. :)
YOU are so VERY welcome. I love reading your work. One day, I hope to write something a little more eloquent…I can learn from you in the meantime. Have a great day!
This is stunning with one teeny weeny word that doesn’t work for me -beams! :-) does she know you’ve used that word???
She probably will never know since she doesn’t read my work very often. Thank you for the compliment. Did I misuse the word or is it one that just didn’t work? I used it emphasize the heavenly glow, at least that was my intention. :)
Hahaha I’ve just read it a few more times! I get it now, you intended the angelic glow to be beaming? I read it as the angelic glow surrounded her beams and thought you were using beams as a word for her curves! Feel free to delete the whole comment :-)
Oh no, I won’t delete it, I was just curious. If I wrote that and she did read it I would have to sleep with one eye open and even then I probably wouldn’t be safe. LOL! :)
breathtaking words! just beautiful.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate the nice compliment. :)
