DIDO

DIDONE {Dido} And Dido heard Venus softly  whisper:

 Gentle heart
Walk softly through the way
Lit by  passion’s fire
Let silence speak your desire
Until it has had it’s fill
In Imagination
And
Burns no more
Quiet and still


Let your spirit soar 
 A moment
In exquisite ecstasy
For
A love unreturned
But know
The day ends
With the falling Sun 
In dream’s illusion.

 It is the nature of humankind
To seek pleasures and seductions
In visions and  dreams
Of
The fire for another
Where in the other
There is none…

Ah yes I said so and it is, it is so beautiful.

Ann of Norway And how it flows and how it glows as if in the darkness of unseen thoughts and how it captures the imagination the warmth melting a heart to cool, like the falling seed pod of a beautiful flower turning on its way to the ground there to rest unused and how it is enticingly special in and out of the hanging bowers of love's daisy chain (too banal) What- garlands, memory? How we die for love and never mind the dying. "Remember me, remember me." //www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOvS3QrhYEQ&feature=related And this poem will be remembered and re read and enjoyed for ever, Longobardolino mio. Annuccia.
