Is it Foolish...

     

 

Is it foolish to think

he should think of me?

             

as a pale moon sits idle in the sky

as if to haunt the lonely dream

of a kiss half remembered

 

Should I sing or sigh or cry

as all the pretty pleasures of those days of sweetness vanish

like ashes on the wind

leaving me once again undone

soiled

from a touch forever fading

 

Or shall I wait…grasping at dawn in pink and white linen

as ribbons of hope weave sunbeams

through the daisies in the window box

meticulously stripped of lacy white petals

                              "He loves me, he loves me not…"

now only an echo that really has no place in a lonely dream

 

And when she spreads her hair upon his pillow

is it foolish to think...

                                                            he should think of me?

I adore this piece. I think almost anyone can relate to this...

"And when she spreads her hair upon his pillow
is it foolish to think...
he should think of me?"- The sad tones of wistful longing really came through. Probably my favorite piece from you so far...

Somethings of beauty cannot be forgotten. Artwork and words led the reader to good places and visions. Sometime the imagination make the desire grow and we appreciate the opportunity to be able to find the tenderness of a special love. No weakness in the outstanding poetry.

Splendid detail in this reflective somber love poem, although I sense an impending broken heart may follow?

Classy & forlorn !
