Sands of Moonlight

In slumber of darkness when all is still
Only the fragrance...a sleeping daffodil

I hear whispers echoing in the night
Love letters written in sands of moonlight

 

Envelope of the night sealed by oceans kiss
Tucked away below in ocean of abyss

Although lovers have died so long ago
Hearts still ache for someone they used to know

 

Upon the shore of a thousand years past
Ribbon of tears wrapped around the winds mast

Footprints embedded upon salt kissed shores
Shadows searching for the love they adored

 

Lost within mysteries and grains of sand
A shadow reaching...reaching for a hand.

Beautiful in every sense....I have missed a few days but this poem really is specia l~ You are truly an artist skilled with the subtle touches of a delicate metaphorical brush...It is effortless to acquire a taste for your emotive sentiment

I love this as it is very atmospheric. I imagine the death of a couple who once sailed the oceans, maybe they met in a foreign land... now deceased, they haunt the oceans in search of each other... good read. :)

i did more than peek, i must admit...

i was thinking of "Bleeker street" simon and garfunkel..

"i saw a shadow touch a shadow's hand, on Bleeker street"

we write of past loves, they never seem to let us go. breakup or death, they remain yards away in our mind...staring at us, causing us to look and listen, and then write.

[SyberRose]

Im not familiar with that song...actually I wrote this ten years ago...and though I I would post it...thanks for reading Jacob..

[jacob erin-cilberto]

whoops..it is "Bleecker Street"

the song was on their album "Wednesday Morning 3 AM" which was released in 1964...maybe the song is on youtube, if you can get it...it's a poet's song.

really glad you decided to post this.
