On the Pillow



Your head upon the pillow's crest,
Surrendered to the dreamer's quest.
I whisper in the quiet night,
Words, soft as the moon's pale light.

These whispers, like a gentle stream,
They dance and weave within your dream.
A cascade to your waiting soul,
Mingling with tales that make you whole.

No resistance, no control,
The words, a symphony, take their toll.
They seep into your tapestry,
A story woven gracefully.

With the morning's tender light,
Eyes open to a pure delight.
You feel the love, embrace accepted,
Magic lingers, dreams detected.

    What is to be much admired here is the excellent job that went in the formation of the rhyme-scheme. Beautifully done!
    The poem has god poetic lines and it is a pleasure from beginning to end. There is no boring lines in all of this.
