♪ Dancing on a cloud of dreams ♪

Missing image
Dancing on the dreams which we had to leave behind.
To the ends of our love, you will dance me tonight.
Memories from melodies, each of diverse kind.

A waltz to our daughter that got your brilliant mind.
While the longing inside me detonate with your sight.
Dancing on the dreams which we had to leave behind.

Serenity by each other, is what we find.
In my sweet memory you will live on each night.
Memories from melodies, each of diverse kind.

A few dance steps to music, let the grief unwind.
“Hold me forever” is my utmost deepest plight.
Dancing on the dreams which we had to leave behind.

With this, death is too weak to break the ties that bind.
Again I’ll miss you with the break of morning light.
Memories from melodies, each of diverse kind.

Daily, reason to our loss remains undefined.
Embracing me tight, as you dance with me tonight.
Dancing on the dreams which we had to leave behind.
Memories from melodies, each of diverse kind.

    Beloved Becks ...

    You write from a deep well of sorrow, but also of true love. And the wonderment of this love is manifest in the delight of your precious daughter ... How well and mature in spirit and in soul you defined this loss:

    With this, death is too weak to break the ties that bind.

    I know the hardship behind that short sentence. I also know the victory of Love over death. Thank you for your reminder.

    You did honor to the Villannelle. Well done, Precious. You created a beautiful tiara with your tears.

    Love
    Myra

    This is so beautifull! There's a nostalgic underlying atmosphere to this poem. It is very difficult as a poet to capture emotion in writing, this poem is brimming with emotion, just like my eyes now.....

    "memories on melodies".. and how beautifully you sing your loss, but even more, how softly and lovingly you sing of what will always be with you, Becks. I know this one is very personal.

    The Villanelle form is so perfect for love's song as the repetition confirms the love that was there, and that will always linger and comfort. Very nice take on the prompt and with consistent meter too.

    Thank you for sharing this lovely entry with us.

    i am so envious of your use of the word 'detonate'!

    yes, how truly does love seem like a series of detonations, ones to make the ears and heart ring, a fireworks display unequaled by any holiday.

    so many seem to simply 'drift' through love and relationships, unguided and unfocused, but those who hear the music and dance the real dance find love's ultimate truth, and for that, there is no real end

    thanks for this delightful entry

    Just wonderful

    When feeling is deep in heart it comes out with vigour and your poem is just that. It is so nice to see your bond you have indicated by the line "death is too weak to break the ties that bind". A very good job, poet.
