Asleep She Lays On Sacred Field

September 13, 2013

Poetry

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.

~~ Dominic R. DiFrancesco ~~

  Thank you Anna, I have been doing more longer ones lately…I guess I’m just in a chatty mood. :)

    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!

  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! :)
