~vision~ 2 Versions Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

As ground is cold and skies are filled with ice
A burden bound in chains of self suffice.
What rests upon this soul of love is weak
As love forlorn has conquered me complete.

A wish that floats upon the tongue is lost
As quiet shakes a ready ear will cost.
To search in silence as whispers lay near
To hear of love in winds once blow by fear.

The call was soft as eyes at glance did see
a vision full did fill beyond all need.
At lean to hear a song did flow from thee
and sings within as love still burns in me.

second version below
The dream was true, my eyes first glance could see
A vision full, filling beyond all need;
Slight and soft, a song flowing from thee
and sang within the song of love to me.

That song which weaves the dream seems lost
as I meet the nearing day, a'loss.
On toward silent wishes peeking near
unsure of love, with hopes now born from fear.

His heart is cold, his eyes are filled with ice
All burden-bound in chains of self, suffice.
What taps upon his soulless love, knocks weak
As love forlorn conquers me complete.
