Step Gently In My Soul

Grinning at revelry on amber arc of twilight sky Silently in my embrace you whisper, asking why, I hang my dreams on the wings of twinkling stars And let them wander in space searching for mars; So I point you to freedom, buoying eagle’s flight And the moonlit horizon shimmering your sight And the expanse of blue oceans bouncing in tides And the invisible force of universe gravity guides. As I hold you in my arms, to fold you in my heart I assure you that nothing will ever keep us apart, For you will always reside in my every thought And be the flame of passion euphoric dreams allot; Affirming my love in beauty of primrose flowers And rainbow of colors past the retreating showers. Oh, how I hold you near, treasuring you my dear Serenading gift of future in endearments hearts revere, Ready to engage the night in my romantic themes As you walk in my reveries in dawn’s golden beams; Step gently in my soul to amble in my dreams, Tread softly because you tread on my dreams. January 31, 2020 Placed 2nd: Famous poetic lines that inspire poetry contest Sponsor: Silent One “Tread softly because you tread on my dreams” By W. B. Yeats From the poem Aedh Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven Placed 3rd: Strand select B contest by Brian Strand

"I hang my dreams on the wings of twinkling stars And let them wander in space searching for mars;" What fantastic imagination and what a wonderful closing of the poem. This avowal of love is so loud and clear. As ever, another splendid love poem.
