melody




Everything seems stuck
in this cold gold morning
We're alone
  a dulcian melody and I
 
This music
swells up the air
  enhances the trees
strips the sun.

The morning turns looming
and solemn
  as if something special was about to happen.


And I hum
In my dream I dreamt
And I prayed that you dreamed me
As I dream you.

"The morning turns looming

Love the ending which lives up to your blog name--sweeter poetry indeed. Reality is nothing without a few good dreams.

Lovely-- you might need to enlighten us across the pond re "fagot melody" as that has a not so nice meaning here-- unless you meant it that way. this is very evocative-- I would take small issue with use of the word "special" in a poem-- you might think of an image that conveys that through the senses.. always a challenge! xj

"...you dream me as I dream you"!

WOW! There is some love in those word-thoughts. I am sure your prayer was answered, Dulce.

Sweeter Dreams, Girl!

for me the last stanza is beautiful...a familiar wish that feels like a warm blanket...i was thrown a bit by fagot myself...

Beautiful poem.... stunning, beautiful poem.. You completely won my heart. The whole "fagot" reference? It's just a cultural thing in the US, a slur against homosexuals, and I'm not sure but I think the slur is spelled with 2 g's. I wouldn't worry about it because not for one minute did I feel like you were slurring anyone, this poem can not possibly be seen as anything other than a deep, real, beautiful confession of love... but I think the word others are looking for might be "fagotto", a term used for the woodwind instrument, bassoon.

Sorry for this 'Lost In Translation' thing- it's been fun after all.

Thanks John,
...but see what I found in Wikipedia:
'Bassoon', variously called fagotto, faggot, fagott, fagot.

I decided to change the instrument for a 'Dulcian'- similar sounds... :-)

Thanks everyone for visiting and commenting in S.P.

♥ Dulce ♥

Wonderful simplicity that doesn't sell your subject short. I admire the way you wrapped up so much in just a (relatively) few lines. I enjoyed this.
