Moonlight Tangerine

Bittersweet love Painting by Robert A. Richert

I will meet you by the winding river

where ripples flow downstream,

please wait and I will meet you 

where moonlight is soft tangerine;

I will try to be there~and if I cannot be

do not wait forever...no not for me.

 

Life will go on as always; 

the moon will always shine,

and I will sit upon the ole rock

and dream of love Divine.

 

So do not wait forever 

in shadows of the willow tree,

because I can only be there

in my dreams of reality;

so do not wait forever

not forever just for me.

 

I will dream of you

wherever you may be;

under Midwest heavens

under stars of eternity.

And in the reflection

of rippled moonlight sheen;

maybe~maybe next time

in moonlight tangerine.

Excellent imagery... although I was saddened by the turn of the piece. Waiting for a love who tells you not to wait forever, what is a sincere heart to do? Another great one!

[SyberRose]

Thank you Travis...for some reason this is one of my favorite poems...the sadder the better ha...:)

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

lol... it was gripping, the hopeless romantic in me wept a bit.

[SyberRose]

Aawwww...sorry about that.

[Travis Gibson (poetic heroics)]

No need to be sorry, Rose. Thats the purpose of a writer, to reach and evoke emotion.

[WILDERNESS]

Well , what can one say, dumbfounded, the way you weave words to convey simple things, lovely poem, as always.

PS. And pl, do come, for I shall be waiting ..... forever.

[SyberRose]

A very sad feeling to this as if love is too far to contemplate other than in dreams Rose.

[SyberRose]

thank you for taking time to peek in today...nice to hear from you Archangel...Rose

This calls to mind the phrase 'if you love someone - set them free'. It always seemed so contradictory but this poem describes true unadulterated selflessness and love and helps us to understand.
Great poem Rose

Rose, my sweet friend, I have a feeling they just might wait forever anyway...after reading this beautiful poem, I would. This is peaceful and serene, quite and filled with longing and desire and the moonlight tangerine. Beautiful my friend.

"So do not wait forever
in shadows of the willow tree,
because I can only be there
in my dreams of reality;
so do not wait forever
not forever just for me.

I will dream of you"

What a soft, smooth, and lax poem! The words flow so beautifully, like time that flies by without a second's thought. Just a beautiful poem, how I would quote the entire piece if I were to write my favorite part. Great job like always, and much enjoyed. :)
