Timothy (Quatern)

by Maple Tree   Feb 11, 2012


Melodic whispers sing his name
Sixteen rings shine for Timothy
Laced in historic hall of fame
Written words, perfect symphony

Reading epics of trilogy's
Melodic whispers sing his name
Moonbeams granting sweet imagery
Music excites his inner flame

Dreaming by an old window frame
Alone at peace, sweet symmetry
Melodic whispers sing his name
Mystical dreams dance visibly

Poems written quite brilliantly
Kindhearted soul you cannot tame
Mesmerized In pure fantasy
Melodic whispers sing his name
