Listening To The Voices Of My Heart

A silent song plays continuously in my head

And as I close my eyes I am at ease

I see a pattern of stars twinkling in rapture

In the clear, abyss of darkness in my mind

A voice that is calming and angelic

Sorrowful and filled with unseen pain

Sings along to this quiet song

Of emotions that ebb and wane like the tides

And in admiration I listen to the words

Which have crept its way into the dark crevices of my mind

Its words ring the story of a strong love

So true, and undeniable, real, and right

And unspoken, I listen.

Then an image dances through my mind

Of two lovers embraced by petals of crimson rose

Dancing on silvery beams of moonlit skies

And these beings with angelic voice

Spread out their wings of flawless white

And float in the starry background of imagination

In a reality made real only by a dream

And these beings so filled with this love

Move gracefully and majestically

In a whirlwind of colors, and spirals

Which mesmerize me, and captivate me

Leaving me awed in wonder and delight

And with my heart, reaching out to touch love

And unspoken, I watch

This tale that plays within my mind is

A woven creation of my heart’s voices

Crying out with hopeful words to revive

Forgotten dreams and lost memories

To weave into the web of my life

Hope to grow strong, and carry forever on

The song of love strong and true

Which is undeniable, real and right

All coming from the voices of my heart

Often times I get into romantic moods that simply fill my head with clear thoughts of romance, love, and so on.  This describes a melody that my heart sings, and an aching longing it wishes fullfilled.
