The rivulet flowed and the stars shone,
The treetops waved with the breeze's flow,
And the hush hush of her soft whisper,
Spoke of love's spiritual tone.
Was she for real or just a dream,
Often visible, often unseen,
Sometimes she is my muse,
Sometimes a cool moonbeam.
Beside me she comes and sits,
Not allowing me to wallow in grief,
Is she my guardian angel -- I ask myself,
Or a fairy or Caucasian spirit?
I implore her to acquire a form,
And tell me where she comes from,
From a dominion of a world unknown,
Or just a vision of my heart, fore-lorn?
She comes when Venus shines at dawn
Eastward at the end of night
And silently comes to be near me
By a cool rivulet like a fairy.
She looks at me with a fondness
And affection glows in her eyes
I know that 'somewhere in time'
She wasn't to me such a surprise.
I feel that through the ages
I was her companion all the time
My heart and soul -- they tell me
That she is a soul sublime.
A soul who loved me long long ago
When bodies were not yet made by God
And maybe that's why she comes and sings
Soothing songs by the rivulet.
Thank you for inviting me to read your poem... I like most the first three lines of the first stanza, and the last two lines of the fourth. Perhaps if I change "into" to in, my poem, "Arousal" would make sense?
