Lonely Gentleman

Dedicated To A Dear Friend

Lonely Gentleman   As the petals drip from these pretty red roses The moon in the night sky ~ like a lonely gentleman poses He knows when you are away he will miss you so Wishes on a star ~ that you didn't have to go   As seven spanish angels plays He prays that to happiness ~ you will find your way He knows that you and he shall never meet That doesn't stop his heart from skipping a beat   He has seen all your gentle loving ways You show them to him more each day He adores your friendship more than you know Appreciates all the kindness you have shown   For your health and happiness he does pray As he dances across the clouds till the break of day Your good friend he will always be   In case you haven't guessed it This lonely gentleman is me By Ray Hamilton © Copyright 6 / 2008 All rights Reserved     Please Visit Me at The Poet's Nest

lovely imagery in your poem...its quite the read. thanks for sharing...

[Mysteral - Night Prowle..]

What a magnificent poem. The words are wonderful, so poignant, so touching. The way you have laid the page out, the images and the background music really adds something to make it stand out. I love the work, and wish you every success in the contest.

I have to ask this; please, be not offended, but in the first line you use the word 'peddles' as in:
As the peddles drip from these pretty red roses
Perhaps, is there a meaning in American English I'm not aware of, but being from UK. I read the word as a verb meaning to sell or trade goods, whereas you appear to use the same as a noun.

Excellent piece of writing, and thanks for posting.

Fantastic poem! I liked it. '...till the break of the day' it will surely remain in me, and again the following day it will start its action.

That is the quality of a good poem.

Thank you.
