In His Longings, She Goddess Truly Born

In his castle built of sharp jagged rocks
alone, so far from Life's usual shocks
with a faithful guard dog, his only friend
he left world's fantasy, all it pretends!

In his own realm, devoid of Life's sad pains
atop a mountain, always seeking gain
he sees Nature's grand beauty and much more
across mythical seas, touching Love's shores!

In his true heart, he hears her as she calls
and every time again in Love he falls
sweetest musical notes, her voice, that tune
they dancing there under soft glowing moon!

In his longings, she goddess truly born
sent to give relief, from Life once forlorn
their each and every kiss a treasure stored
pure joy, away from world's dark angry horde!

In his bliss, prays this world never invades
with its pomp, vanities and sad parades
for he knows his greatest dream has came true
have faith, for such can one day come to you!

In his castle built of sharp jagged rocks
alone, so far from Life's usual shocks
with a faithful guard dog, his only friend
he left world's fantasy, all it pretends!

Note- 4/28/2020
Born from a most beautiful and vivid dream I had last night,
this memory of her beauty, her sweet voice and all she said
and from basking in that warm glow until this morn I woke
as dawn's rooster crows rang so very clearly to bellow out,
"Wake, for reality we now and will always invoke."
