Longing

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again.
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

Come, as thou cam’st a thousand times,
A messenger from radiant climes,
And smile on thy new world, and be
As kind to others as to me.

Or, as thou never cam’st in sooth,
Come now, and let me dream it truth.
And part my hair, and kiss my brow,
And say My love! why sufferest thou?

Come to me in my dreams, and then
By day I shall be well again.
For then the night will more than pay
The hopeless longing of the day.

 

by Matthew Arnold (1822 1888)

My Love is Always

Snow falls softly a whisper in the night
it sparkles silver and white
like a blanket of jewels covering the earth.

So are words, soft whispers
Sparkling in the night
blanketing you with love.

These words are not enough,
never enough to express
what resides in my heart.

My love is always
through days and years
It will never fade away.

Last night you were in my dreams. It had been so long since I had found you there so clearly, like those in the past, dreams  I have never forgotten.   There you were, looking at me, your eyes catching me in a warm embrace, under the moonlight, by my side while I slept. There are those who would never believe  but it does not matter, nor do they. Some told me I would forget, it would pass, your presence would be gone. They were wrong. 

Once  I heard the soft whisper of “wait” and now I hear “he is waiting”.  Perhaps a letter would be something though not nearly enough, a letter I should have written so long ago. It would speak of my heart and soul, foolish maybe, but maybe not. For one day I will come to you and there will be no more waiting,  just two souls under the moonlight, together.

For it was not into my ear you whispered, but into my heart. It was not my lips you kissed, but my soul.
Judy Garland

“Keeper of My Heart”

Think of me at night when sleep is near
And I who love you are so far away
Think of me then and I will come to you
Nor leave you till the night turns into day
Stretch forth thy hand and through the depths of dark
Another hand will touch thy fingertips
And as of old my voice will breath thy name
And press a kiss upon thy sleeping lips.
