A Photograph

A distant memory

 

It was only last night as the clouds covered the sky, hiding every star that use to twinkle when you walked by. The absent of light damped the silhouetting of your shapely body, glistening hair and sparkling eyes leaving much to the imagination. As I ponder the thought of missing you I wondered what would happen if those stars never returned. Would I ever see such a beautiful refraction of light again, would I? It is not raining, why the clouds are covering the wonders of my dream, the one that echoes through the night sky, while tiding Orion as the naked eye scopes mars. 

 

I can hear the whispers of the night breeze as it pushes the waters, and ruffles the trees. The sounds are romantic, stimulating and mood enhancing but still the loss of light has frittered my soul. It is a rare treat to captivate an image that contains riches of niceties which would normally be hidden without the delicate twinkles. As the water washes to the shore, the cirrus clouds begin to push a side, allowing the first twinkle to shed light where darkness had imprisoned the crystal lights that I used to see my wondrous site.

 

Unfolding a photograph of his love while raining illumination set in motion by that magical starlit moment; he gasped with excitement as his tears soothes his soul while fading off to sleep.

Reviews

Photographs do bring in a swirl of memories.

Even the choice of font was not spared, this is good in writing.

The choice of words was done well. I enjoyed this poem.

I noticed that in this poem and another I read, that you tell it in the first AND third person. Is that on purpose? I just found it a little confusing, but the subject matter and your descriptions are very good! Barbara

How powerful that a mere photograph can rekindle lost love. The love my not be present any longer, but the memory will always live in that special place in your heart and soul. I found this piece to be very soft and demure. I enjoyed reading your words here. Good writing my friend.
