A Dream within a Dream
Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow-
You are not wrong, who deem
That my days have been a dream;
Yet if Hope has flown away
In a night, or in a day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep- while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Music, When Soft Voices Die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory --
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heap'd for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts when thou are gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
You are why my heart beats
Why God made little girls
You are the axis on which
My entire world twirls
You are my hero
And a most beautiful soul
You are every rainbow
And its pot of gold
Within my life
You are the brightest light
You are my every day
And my every night
Your love is priceless
Your heart is true
Devoted am I
And cherished are you.....
we said the cruelest things.
pain overflowed our eyes,
our words were like daggers,
despite their sweet disguise.
we knew that we were wrong,
that we should keep control.
but our tempers had no mercy,
as we stabbed right to the soul.
and though time has healed the wounds,
the jagged scars remain.
reminders etched across our hearts,
remembrance of the pain...
