WINGS OF A DOVE (Thursday Poets Rally Week 25)
I whispered your name
Calling out of deep sleep
Hovering on the border
of fully awakeness
I stirred, then became still
I whispered once more
My voice as light as leaves
Disturbed by a gentle breeze
I slowly open my eyes
A little shadow that cries
Calling out in the night
Totally out of my sight
Kissed only by sunlight
Where did you go my love
On the wings of a lonely dove
Will I ever feel your love

The pain of love unattainable… When they dominate your thoughts to the point where they enter your dreams…
July 23, 2010 at 3:51 pm
My heart skipped a beat or two or three, first the photo took my breath away and the verse that followed reached to the depths of myself. That feeling of either the unattainable lover, or deep in the heart one can hear their name being called… that just keeps one going forward.
Sensual and mysterious romantic love.. and a beautiful title for doves are messengers from God and are symbolic for several meanings – including love and peace.

This poem reminds me of the Songs of Solomon when the lover was looking for her beloved. The same thought and smiliar words were voiced. Great Job!
