Analysis of Once More



Once More
Put your head upon my shoulder once again.
Do not worry my precious when it pours rain.
Yes, I know our last time is coming very near.
While my love for you will always be sincere.

Rest your eyes and think of what life could be.
For the wonderful times we had, you and me.
Bear in mind my heart will always be for you.
 In a growing love that never once was untrue.

Your smile and rosy cheeks I will forever miss.
Just promise from your sweet lips one more kiss.
Keep your head upon my shoulder my darling girl.
So I may sniff the scented fragrance from each curl.

As the wings of heaven's angels carry me into the sky.
I must ask you not to mourn me forever when I die.
I shall fly with them to God's resting offerings of peace.
For all the earthly things I once had, I must now release.

Norman Wilson

IntroductionForgotten are the times the tick of a clock once chimed sobering sounds that caressed my hearts nightly dreams. As I awaken to the touch of light that burns upon a candles wick flickering my words for all to see. This drives my thoughts through the darkest of nights of loneliness that renders my quill upon parchment with ink that dances to minds and souls.Now I hear the screeching of my heart when the blue horizon covers the orb of emptiness.Within the shelter of my mind with little, purpose other than my words that keep me sane. These are my new poems I have written in the quiet of my night, forever wished away in a writer’s pain. As I strive to write that perfect poem that, my soul desperately seeks. Then and only then can my words rest upon a sleep. more…
