Dreams And Fairy Tales
11 September, 2006
Author: Ing Twi Demalah
Why now come you to me
Tell me angel, why now are you here
As if in answer to prayers long forgotten I had made
So, when such prayers be all but lost to me
came you now that you might save them for me
And for what, my heart stolen in a glance
That you might see me tremble when you are near
Or perhaps my thoughts, from which you cannot be shaken
The image of your face burned forever in my mind
As a lonely apparition wondering endlessly
through a world long lost to her touch,
where only the shadow of her kisses remains.
So too do you haunt sweetly my dreams.
For I have only dreams, far from my grasp
everything that ever I wanted, belonging to another
I am in love with one I cannot have
Yet I know now what it is to say "I am in love."
A love ever hoped for, yet never looked for
Where in I die every time that we part
life breathed into me when next we meet
Daily to be slain and daily born a new
And pray a new prayer, when you embrace me
"Please God! If this be a dream don't let me wake."
Let me stay, here, where MY love for her prevails
Even if only in dreams, dreams and fairy tales.
------- Author's Notes -------

Princess Moon (204.56.135.2) -- Tuesday, September 12 2006, 03:26 pm I love every word, every line, every phrase...its beautiful. I was so wrapped into this one Ing, it had such sweetness, simplicity, yet innocence! A masterpiece! Awesome job, Ing! I've got some love poems myself at this site so, being that love is something I have a nack to write about, its NOT disappointing! |
Meridian (71.241.15.210) -- Tuesday, September 12 2006, 05:20 pm I'm suprised you even wrote, "hope i do not disappoint"...are you crazy? Hahhaa... Princess Moon said it in her paragraph there. OUTSTANDING SIR! Whether she is real or fantasy, your feelings will always remain the same. P.S. However, you don't wanna sleep too long though because I think Subway has their new special today. What is it? Cold Cut Trio? You might wanna eat fresh while you dream about her again...lol NICE POEM ING! WOOHOO! |
Ing Twi Demalah (69.161.48.184) -- Friday, September 15 2006, 11:44 pm Thank you, I am glad that you so liked this poem. You are a constant encouragement to keep writing. I thought perhaps writing as if speaking face to face would make the feelings in this come out the more. Thank you so much Princess. |
Ing Twi Demalah (69.161.48.184) -- Saturday, September 16 2006, 05:39 am Do not be suprised, I am often the harshest critic of my work. Whether she is real or fantasy, I only hold her in my dreams. Only in my dreams do I kiss her and there have my fairy tale ending. Thus there I will often go, the Poet, the Rose and a cold cut trio. But that is in dreams and fairy tales Meri, dreams and fairy tales. |
