A Dream Awakens
By Susan de Vegter
I tucked my pillows all around
So not to feel alone
Into the quiet dead of night
I ached for you into my bones
As yearnings pierced each silent wail
Into a void I groped and fell
Until the lonely twisted aching
Slipped me to sleep
To a dream awakening.
Susan, unfortunately I’ve been inundated lately, but I have continued to read your stunning creations. I enjoy reading your work and learning from your golden gifted quill. You possess extraordinary poetic talent, style and grace, and your stimulating work will continue to enlighten and delight the masses long after we depart from this world. I know I will carry the wonderful memories of your well-penned compositions. You have continued to elevate the level of knowledge in all who are fortunate enough to visit your dramatic Den. For those of us who are willing to consider ourselves to be a human being, author or poet, we naturally draw off each other’s creative influences. I have enjoyed reading another timeless treasure and visit. Thank you for sharing your extraordinary work, my poet friend. Take care and be well. Good luck. Keep The Faith.
Succinct and powerful, Susan, and I love the unusual sense of falling into a much-desired dream - not through a feeling of the "warm fuzzies", but instead through the icy blast of loneliness. Artwork PERFECTLY matches your beautiful poem as if made for it! Praying for you at this empty time. "Pain makes the pen fly", so says dear Floria Kelderhouse. Hope you don't mind, but I have quoted your Indian proverb from your Biog page at the head of my today's poem - with grateful thanks, of course! LOL Kate xx
Shirine McVey discovers that twenty years of her life have elapsed since she went to sleep in a hotel room in El Paso, Texas. And worse, she is married to a man she doesn't know.
Edward Rutherford is prepared to do just about anything to escape an arranged marriage to a woman he despises. But his brilliant plan to feign insanity has some rather unwanted consequences...
This is excellent....
