Hello Old Friend

 

 

 

 

hello old friend, I thought that was you ...

is it the clouds which drift by that interrupt your shining light

or ....

are you peeping through my window in search of her this night?

it's ok old friend, don't feel shame
I know your want, your longing ....
I feel the same

no ... she is not here, I am alone
was that the wind I heard?
or did you moan?

no ... don't go ....

stay a while ... and share with me the memories
of the nights when we were three
just you and I and she

stay with me oh you lonely moon
for I am lonely too
and what time remains is so trivial
I'd rather spend it all with you

listen as words flow from a soul awakened
one brought to life by love
and too soon forsaken

and recall to me oh my lonely friend
yes do .... now that it's just we two
how much brighter this old the universe would be
when it was then we three

no .... no old friend .... there is nothing in my eye
and was that rain I just felt?

or ...

have you too ... just begun to cry?

Wow! Tru Blue that's just gorgeous, it gave me goosebumps. A very different kind of poem, but it all works well for me, the presentation is wonderful. Love your work.

Yes, even the moon is crying since she went away. Your words are so very heartfelt - they could make a stone weep. A wonderful poem, Bill I will be on the lookout for more writes from you, one of my very favorite poets.

Simply beautiful Bill! Such longing penned here.....heartbreaking sentiments poured out.

Hugs Helena

since the dawn of time, broken hearted people have sought solace and empathy from the Moon. and why not -- is it not she who controls the tides and the bleedings and sanity ? there's not a person i know who wouldn't relate to this. i like the conversational tone, its bittersweetness. i am just a bit confused by the passage starting ...and recall to me --- i am not sure if the last two lines are typos or i am just not understanding the phrasing. i would like to read more works by trublue.
