Captured moments

Love shall stand the distance known

 

Captured moments

by jack 

 

Cotton candy clouds adrift

Upon this twilight’s opal skies

Silently O’ colors formed

Of taking breath and casting sighs

 

Aglow, a moon of muted light

Above these branches, rests in wait

Reaching o’er the final glimpse

Now as this day it does negate

 

Here I stare in thoughtful dreams

Wondering o’er scattered winds

Shall this spell of moonlit phase

Bring my love to you again

 

A’ dance upon your waking heart

Soft of light, O’ chilled caress

Of these miles we stand apart

Filled with hope and lone confess

 

Captured moments, sorted time

Found entwined of this we see

As a fragile silhouette

Wafting through so endlessly

 

Hear my voice, O’ call the distance

Echoes of a promise true

Far beyond this beaconed vision

Steadfast in my love for you

That you snapped the photo yourself somehow makes using it as inspiration for this truly lovely poem more significant; it's personal. You are multi-talented...the picture is as beautiful as the poem.

Thanks so much Kimmer for reading and commenting on yet another of my poems using the O'

[KAOlmsted]

I wasn't going to mention the O' today, but since you brought it up... ;-) The pleasure is entirely mine, Jack.

Absolutely beautiful Jack... intertwined with that breathtaking image...it tugs tenderly at the heartstrings...a gentle ache that lingers upon the page..
I especially liked...'Here I stare in thoughtful dreams
Wondering o’er scattered winds
Shall this spell of moonlit phase
Bring my love to you again'.....................Emotional Longing at its Very Finest...

Thanks so much Nick

[eglantine]

ooo I love "opal skies" SO much more! Great pic too btw

[eglantine]

I love your use of the shortened 'over' (the O')

while "azure skies" is wonderful to say and is descriptive, I feel as though that phrase has been used over and over.

Thanks, as always, for sharing :)

[Jack...]

Thanks so much Eglantine. I changed it just for you (as I agree with you)

[Kenilo Kent]

This one's like a young Greek boy crying bleeding his heart out to Cupid...

[Jack...]
