Upon a silent request

 Upon a silent request

 

 

In the shadows of the night lies a lonely heart,

It lies there waiting for it’s one true love.

 

Night after night it’s silent request passes into the morning,

unheard and unanswered.

 

With great anticipation it seeks the first star of the night,

It’s silent request spoken with love in it’s voice.

 

If the stars and the moon wept from this silent request,

none ever showed it, no star dust ever fell.

 

On fallen knees the request was given,

how silent the words became as tears turned to dust.

 

Not a sound or a glimmer, not a sigh was ever given.

Now the request becomes more quiet then a whisper.

 

The heart still beats for its one true love,

silently kept in a box on the shelf.

 

I use to visit it when the moon was full,

but I have put it away, afraid of the pain that it holds.

 

An empty heart with a silent request,

it was once a dream...

 

and a dream it will stay.

Ah, relatable words spoken here... lovely image to place a hope, a dream within a box to hide away when the pain of longing overwhelms. Beautiful yet heart wrenching write.

This is heart-wrenching Ron. Such a poignant poem. I hope this does not relate to you, I know we all have our little moments however, I hope the pain leaves you soon.

Awwwwwh, this just made me sigh. You have me so close to tears.

It was how I felt for a very long time. I am sorry I did not mean to make you come close to tears Sye.

It's a good thing, hon. Means your emotions are on point - which I already knew before I read it. You're not feeling like this now?

[ron]

Thank you. No I am not.

[s y e]

Good. I am very glad, Ron.

What an emotional piece, it tugged on my heart strings... As I sit here and type, I am a misty-eyed, sad mess.... I just want to reach out and give you a big 'ole hug! My goodness- such tender longing, such hope turned hopelessness. This piece makes the romantic in me scream- it will be alright... Well done.

[ron]

Thank you so much April. I know it will, just how I feel sometimes but as of late not so much.

[AprilRN1210]

Trust me-I can totally relate... I haven't given up yet, one day, somewhere, somehow...right?

[ron]

Yes, when you least expect it.

[AprilRN1210]

I never got that saying.... well, maybe I got the saying, I just don't LIKE it very much.... Why can I never find anything when I am looking ya know... That's when I need it... Yet, when I give up quit looking I remember where I hid the dang thing... Jeez... I'm not expecting it, but how about need or want, does that count?

[ron]

I know what you mean. Yes need and want count a lot.
