A Promise

an evening walk among the moon and stars

Full moon shining clear raises my brow as it climbs the endless night.

I long to rest beneath its glow as the barred owl sings and

feel the caressing wind dance at my feet.  

I’ve stood too long in the night,

 Now I’m chilled down to my soul

And realize I’m here alone.

Till I see my one true love, his smile warms me true

And like a magnet born to dance to each other, we move.

Arms full of strength now wrap me in warmth

Whispering lips tickle my ear with a promise so soft

And the orchestrated night plays on.

Truly romantic.a pleasure to read.

3rd line from the bottom, I bet you meant "wrap" instead of "warp".

I like these types of poems, I can't really write like that even when I try.

You've done well here.

[Cherrie Palmer]

HA! I am getting old I never seen that. Thanks Dave
I think you could write like that. Just take tender images and weave them together.

[Neville]

That's my kind of night Cherrie..................................I gotta thing about 'barred owls too y'know....

[Cherrie Palmer]

Yes, those old owls fly across my pen from time to time.

[Cherrie Palmer]

Owls, loons, & doves, I love to hear them.

[Neville]

Me too wit too woo..........No loons around my neck of the woods, unfortunately....N

[Cherrie Palmer]

How about a whippoorwill?
Their sounds are a mix of loneliness and peace.

[Cherrie Palmer]

The old owl, gets so close to the house I can hear the throaty grawl at the end of his call. Which I love.

[Neville]

No whippoorwill either. I got a nightingale, barn owl and tawnies................

[Cherrie Palmer]

A nightingale another wonderful singer. I don't have any of those.

[CD Campbell]

It is a sweet feeling to have a true love arrive and banish all bad thoughts and downward spiraling emotion. The ending felt tidy and wrapped up in a bow. Lovely poem. CD

nice write Cherrie,.,,

i really enjoyed how this took a beautiful turn midway.
The plot resolution was very nice filled with beautiful sentiment.
I also enjoyed the imagery of the barred owl and maybe how it symbolizes good or bad omen.
great write!

[Coyote Poetry]

We are lonely when our love is faraway. I felt the longing and the need for a reunion. Thank you Cherrie for sharing the amazing words and thoughts.
