When night had come
And the day had fled
When the door was shut
And I crawled to bed,
You broke upon my thought
As a euphonic melody
You knocked upon my heart
As a sweet memory
Your voice trailed across to me
Waking me from semi sleep
Driving my languor away
Filling me with sensations deep
I felt the warmth of your tumultous passion
The soft touch of your caressing hands
The musky odour of your fragrant breath
The gentleness of your adoring glance
You opened the window to let in the light
Not leaving me grope in blinding night
You took me to the seas of shore less delight
And hovered over me like a heavenly sprite
You enlivened every atom of my being
Kindled in me the fire of desire
Swept me off my feet by the inundating tide of love
My sleeping passions, you set to fire
But Alas! With my senses lulled to sleep
Leading me into a state of heavenly calm
Through the window lying ajar
You faded out like an evanescent dream!
An evanescent dream has here taken you to a higher world of profound semblances akin to the eternity of a believer's whims and man's dreams of the kind throw light on his remarkable imaginative flutter. Your poem is an exhortation for man's need to ponder over why he can't cherish dreams even gainst the backdrop of adversity and ordeals But the use of interjection of 'but alas' may better be done away with. A fine write, madam.
Fading like an evanescent bubble. Dreamlike feelings make life more interesting. Beautiful poem. Thank you.
sometimes i wish to read any short-story written by you, another of my favorite genre to read...your poems reflect the artistic impulses!
Such is the moment when one experiences 'bliss.' A lovely write, Valsa.
This is a beautiful poem on Love and dream having haunting expression with nice collocation. The first two stanzas are the beginning of love. Fourth stanza expresses the feeling of love incisively. The concluding stanza is much impressive. Thank you dear madam for sharing this gem.10
Sweet memories! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Thinking and belief, is always a relief, it is personified, life is rectified, pains become dormant, and the end is pleasant.
I can completely relate to this, and I've had several dreams that pick me up only to bring me crashing down - just like this one. I've written about them in Beautiful Dream and Wondrous Daydreams, but nothing nearly as enrapturing and expressive as what you've done here. As always: Poema Perfecto ~Nika

But Alas! With my senses lulled to sleep Leading me into a state of heavenly calm Through the window lying ajar You faded out like an evanescent dream! - - - - - - a beautiful end, and yet it pains a lot, when something good fades away as a dream, yet that unnatural glimpse of your loved one, fills you with temporal ectasy.........I can visualize, a lazy winter morning........ Dreams really take us to a world beyond all that''s natural, ...............yet my dear Valsa, be aware of mosquitoes! ...........I hope they don't ruin your astral journey! .........
