This Heart.

This Heart.

When I, led sleepless through uneasy dark 
sigh lonely for thee.
When moon rides high its wide curved arc
and cold falls crisp on flower and tree.
When sun bids farewell to skyline's blue
and a mist covers first starlight with dew
how I sigh for thee.

When I, dreaming walk lone ocean waves
again sigh for thee.
When wind rides high the sea's briny lace
and a moon turns pale its filters on me.
When Neptune roams his wild-water hall
and foaming white horses rise only to fall
how I sigh for thee.

When I, wakened bone-tired before dawn
sigh weary for thee.
When sun rides high as day becomes worn
and noon lies basking over calmed sea.
When distance between us taxes this heart
and needed commitment keeps love apart
how I sigh for thee.

Ah how the heart yearns when separated from a love either by distance or death. A wonderful write Fay. Love and nature combined in these lines demonstrate your skill as a poet. Beautifully done.

Thank you Chris for this heart-warming review - a verse like This Heart is tricky to write without making it too emotionally powered but am glad it pleased your taste and gave you a feel of its weary pathos.

tenderness drips from each line, word, sentence, form each affirmation like a stream of gentle tears, Your expressions, Your rhythm, the fine delicate beat of Your verses all come together to create pure poetic beauty, not only with the building and form but also with the emotions, I feel like and reminded with Crystal when I read this, splendid my dear fine poetess 🌟
