[bodytext] => There's a lady in red
At the foot of my bed
So exhausted she looks
From the tears she has shed
"Please, help me", she cried
Such distress in her eyes
All her aura expelled
As she realised, she'd died
I rose up from my sleep
Took her gaze, held it deep
Then I reached out my hand
This, her secret, I'd keep
So I listened intently
And spoke to her gently
As she poured out her heart
Felt relief, so immensly
We sat there all night
Talking under moon's light
Till her eyes came a glow
And sun bathed her in white
Now she stands with a smile
Death no longer a trial
And, she visits me often
If only just for a while

I really like the rhyme scheme in this one. Hmmmm...conversations with dead people, eh? How very interesting.
This initiated many associative memories in me. Perhaps I'll PM them to you someday. Very enjoyable.
Thank you.

enjoyed this, have no idea how i would react
if i was visited, but i have a recurring dream
about a pet cat that i had put to sleep 5 years ago
sometimes it's as if i am not asleep at all.
Take care
Fuzzy

The subconscience is wonderfully prolific
in this case helping us to mend in ways
we aren't even aware we are hurting
This write was refreshingly surreal

wow. Not just a spectral experience, but one of kindly assisting the ushering of someone's soul to the beyond. What a great dream, a great thought, a great poem! Beautifully put.

Hi,
I would guess that this relates to someone
who was close to you in the past (?) I'm sure
many of us experience similar visitations in our
sleep, but perhaps not many of us can put
that experience into words that you have so
eloquently written.
Well scribed!
Tommy

Perfect timing!!!! Loved this so much, as I've experienced the very same thing. Because I promised not to view my husband after he died, he never seemed dead to me. He came back to me almost every night in my dreams. He would rise from his coffin, and try to convince me he really wasn't dead at all! This happened for 5 years, until I finally became angry. I told him to stop coming back, that I was trying to live without him, and it was hurting me to see him again. He never returned after that!
This poem was so surreal! You are so talented dear..........keep up the good work.
If you'd care to read my poem "Death Wish"
http://www.your-poetry.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=21620
I will never make another "death wish"
Warm love,
connie |
