Moonbeams Deceive

Urenga parameters, Japanese style

Moonbeams Deceive

 

 

 

Whispering secrets

On moonlit nights in twilight’s after glow

She’s a wilting rose

As roses in mid afternoon sunshine

Moonlight enters the soul

 

 

 

She’s a wilting rose

As roses in mid afternoon sunshine

Moonlight enters the soul

Those moonbeams deceive

Unrequited love comes at dawn

 

 

 

Those moonbeams deceive

Unrequited love comes at dawn

Morning brings no joy

Malady wonders what went wrong

I’ll dry her tears with my kisses

Nancy, Oh...how beautiful and constructive wordings! Really I wish and say the last line of your poem is having
such a powerful thinking. Kindly accept my handful of greetings!
