and took them to the moon

a love poem divorce

I ran to the far edge of the field
where the grass stood tall
and the dandelion tufts danced
and laughed in the summer breeze
(whispers of you)
puffs of smoke that disappeared
between the fingers
of my outstretched hands
aching to hold the(fading)
memories of you
and love sweet as the tender kiss
of morning dew.

With care I packed the pieces
of my broken dreams
and took them to the moon
where
his sister sky made love to me
and warm clouds caressed me bold
and wind sighed in my ear
to fill me with the night
until
quickly as dawn approaches
star dust tickled my cheek
and sent me back to earth
my suitcase still in hand

Heaven is my lover
but my dreams are all of you.

This is very poignant and powerful throughout but what a hell of a punch line .... A gentle kiss to the forehead x

Thanks. I am mixing historical and current, whimsical and personal - this one was for my ex - a very LONG time ago

I do that too, all the time. Good though innit

A very poetic journey on heartache/longing for what is gone, very nice.

[John Alexander McFadyen]

A very delicate but sad poem. Very descriptive, Well constructed and flowing and the final lines provide great impact.

I really enjoyed the imagery in this. It's not often that I can truly envision what I read, so great job!
