Sleepless

~ heartprints and longing ~

 

                                                 photograph compliments of pinterest

 

 

 

Longing sits softly on my windowsill

wistfully tethered to moonbeams and starlit wishes

I wish I may, I wish I might

 

If only

it were that easy

 

as dreams escape me...

 

How I ache for a whisper of you

of angel wings

                                                and eternal promises

                to take my breath away

like the breeze through the curtains

                                wrapping around me

                                                                in a moment of serenity

 

     A kiss of wind

upon a starlit wish

to soothe a shattered heart

that knew nothing of goodbye

 

If only

Gentle words and thoughts took reader to deep thoughts and sweet dreams.
"How I ache for a whisper of you
of angel wings
and eternal promises"
Some place are safe zones for the heart. Never attempted, never loved and always wishing for more. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Wow... I like the delicate nature of your poems... This one is quite exquisite.. The intensity is remarkable. I loved the lines -
"How I ache for a whisper of you
of angel wings
and eternal promises
to take my breath away
like the breeze through the curtains
wrapping around me
in a moment of serenity".

PS : Please align / format the lines properly.. I found it difficult to read.. BTW, I am not dyslexic :)

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind words. I'm thrilled you enjoyed my poem. I scattered the lines to flow as thoughts would instead of structure. So sorry it was hard to read. :) Julie

[TheLostMind]

The pleasure was all mine... I know, scattering the lines allows the reader to understand the emotions within the poem... :)..

you're most welcome :)

[redzone]

you made me "sleepless" with these words Julie;
"to soothe a shattered heart
that knew nothing of goodbye

If only"

I often think "if only" was intentionally invented in order to inflict longing and sleeplessness.. the longing shines brightly in this poem.. a poen as gentle as it is in never knowing how to say goodbye... so don't and let it be a part of you as long as you are still you...

[MsJewel]

Thank you for your kind and encouraging words. I appreciate you and your friendship. :) Julie

If only if only you take it and ache with it in a most exquisite way. You still find the beauty in the pain, you just do. You have a breathtaking way with your words.

Sometimes it would be so great that all our dreams came true and every prayer was answered, but then again if that were true we wouldn't appreciate the ones that come to light.

wistfully so ... your poems are so caressable .. i could pine myself away reading this over and over again .. a strong grasp of tempo and painting with words .. so everyday and yet so out of reach .. very nice experience to read .. well done says i!
