Captive in My Heart

Posted last November 11th/2007.
Created the collage and wrote the poem for this lovely romantic story during a time of darkness. Love prevails all!
I adore this so and wanted to post it again.Once again ...A Huge Thank you Norman, Lill and Tom.


In this pale moment of time
I am blinded in the deafened tunnels
Of this Great War
And have not heard from you yet!

Deadening hands…bitter cold from rain and snow
Unworkable to write down my avowals of love for you…
I feel as if I’ve reached the world’s end
Do you not care for me any more???

War desensitizes many
Yet not I … maybe a little… subconsciously!
I know I sense the loss and bear the wounds
As I watch the damp cold earth devour the young
Like it’s in the race for liberty

But only God‘s arms are ever near
And so I have the fortitude against the fear!

Ah, yes! The dreams; if not for the dreams!
My succor of my mortal being
To transport me away from this darkening hell!
My one and only solace is …

I breathe the perfume of the windblown flowers
And feel the glowing warmth of the summer sun
And think of the day I’ll be back home
Of seeing you once more!

The other night I dreamt a dream
A dream of you
I held you strongly in my arms my dearest Lill
With happy thoughts together in Windmill Hill
My mind held you darling Lill… held you captive in my heart!


Till we meet again………
Heaps of kisses for my darling Lill xxxxxx
Love Tom
p.s. Do write…

Just an illusory poem to Lill from Tom
