Wings more than wings...

Carry on Tuesday #15 ~ (We) loved with a love that was more than love ~ Annabel Lee ~ Edgar Alan Poe
~

Sunlit wings inspire
Sweet early morning insights
Dreamings for dreamers
~
I love wings
Not as it used to be
(Those old days
Locked in my natural instincts)
Now I see
Their spirit
In my spirit
~
But I digress
~
I fly now with the one I love
~
She is still there
On earth
Travelling
And I still watch over her
~
I remember those beautiful days
Protecting her
Curling round her tears
Letting her know
She was not alone
She would never be alone
~
I remember walking with her
Slowly
I shadowed her footsteps
Daily
~
I rested on her pillow
I kept her warm
~
She always brushed me tenderly
Kept me happy with my favourite foods
Let me snuggle close
On her lap
For hours
~
I remember
I remember
I will always remember
~
We loved with a love
That was more than love
~
Eternity is ours
Now
~
Wings
Time and space travellers
Above the earth
~
Always
Her Sebastian
~
