Moonlight and Wine

         Moonlight and Wine

Moonlight...and rich burgundy wine.

Locked inside of, this heart of mine.

With this "thought", a warm embrace;

Which over the years, has lost its face.

A very simple, touching, and true poem Valentine, as usual! I've experienced the longing that memories can bring, as well as (literally) the inability to remember faces clearly. But I do remember the feelings; the warmth, and the love. I think that's what brings about the longing for me
Well done

[Willard Wells]

A warm and yet sad vision of fading memories. Well done.

[Lydia Shutter]

Romantic and yet a bit poignant. Lovely. Lydi**

[Valentine]

Thank you Lydia, I am appreciative of your reviews. Kathie

[Ted Kniffen]

It seems with age we lose either the faces or the names of once dear friends or acquaintances. It's sad.
At least I haven't forgotten mine, yet!

[Valentine]

Ted, that means your mind is still good. Sad thing is if you haven't seen someone in a real long time...you might not even recognize them if you were to bump into them. Kathie

Bittersweet memories stirring under the light of the moon with the sweet taste of nectar on the lips.

The senses are renowned for stirring up thoughts and memories. A smell. A taste. A touch. And all the feelings from the past rise to the surface.

Brief, but nicely written.

[Valentine]

How true, but even memories fade with time. Kathie

you had me at wine...
especially a good cab- my favorite.
moonlight and wine-
is almost never had alone.
somehow both make us want someone
by our side. -Bacchus

Had to smile, I haven't had a drink of any kind in years. Allergic to alcohol. Kathie

[Coyote Poetry]

You said a handful in so few words. Time can be a heavy burden for us. When places and faces are missed. Thank you dear friend for sharing the excellent poetry.

Thank you John, drink too much and you might not even remember that face. Kathie

[Coyote Poetry]

I try this a few times. Didn't work and you welcome Kathie.

[Barbara Borel]

Beautiful and sorrowful. I love it.

[Valentine]

Barb, just words, never tasted that certain one. Kathie

nice work Valentine ..short and moving .. so much of us is locked inside ..some pining, some waiting patiently ..some simply glowing ... we should do our best to remember those faces ...we too easily forget sometimes
