though her heart is gently weeping
her eyes do not shed a tear
for the love they shared in living
echoes whispers she can hear
softly soothing as a touch
of his fingers on her skin
while the velvet mist enshrouds
keeping their love locked within
dreams she dreams with open eyes
where their souls can reunite
in a land beyond forever
under sparkling starry night
Really romantic and well written congrats shadow. You are getting closer and closer to my favourite romantic singer lyrics, chet baker:
ReplyDeletelike this one called "The thrill is gone"
the thrill is gone
the thrill is gone
i can see it in your eyes
i can hear it in your sighs
feel your touch and realize
the thrill is gone
the nights are cold
for love is old
love was grand when love was knew
birds were singing, skys were blue
now it don't appeal to you
the thrill is gone
this is the end
so why pritend
and let it linger on
the thrill is gone
You are getting closer and closer to MY favorite romantic...SHADOW. And she lives in Africa. --grin!

Once again the beauty in your words coloured the grey of the mundane.

Love the ghostly poem and accompanying image!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say that I haven't said before? You are truly marvelous.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteReunited love is what we all wish for, it is romantic and sweet. Even in death we can find someone through our memories and photos we carry in our heart. I like how this poem brings in the added sense of remembered touch.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I remember having seen a farewell scene in a movie, where the hero said to his lover "I see you when we are two golden clouds in the sky". Unforgettable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous piece of writing. LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteVery well-written! Keep writing!

You always stun me with not only your poetry, but your picture selection. Wish I could see what's reflecting in the mirror she holds... wonder what angle the photographer or artist was working there...
