Sleepless

~ heartprints and longing ~

 

                                                 photograph compliments of pinterest

 

 

 

Longing sits softly on my windowsill

wistfully tethered to moonbeams and starlit wishes

I wish I may, I wish I might

 

If only

it were that easy

 

as dreams escape me...

 

How I ache for a whisper of you

of angel wings

                                                and eternal promises

                to take my breath away

like the breeze through the curtains

                                wrapping around me

                                                                in a moment of serenity

 

     A kiss of wind

upon a starlit wish

to soothe a shattered heart

that knew nothing of goodbye

 

If only

What an interesting stanza structure. Everything about this piece is indeed mesmerizing. You are one of the few writers on here who has a way with words. I give you credit for the blue font, for it made this a soothing and therapeutic read for the soul. Not to mention, it matches with the picture depicted. You have constructed a masterpiece. I am glad I came across this work of art.

Thank you for sharing!

Julie,
You have this knack of sailing on breezes of infinity, collecting its abundance and transporting them from your soul to this site. I feel like the poem carries me off into a blessed world.

like the breeze through the curtains
wrapping around me
in a moment of serenity - i loved this Julie - the shroud image was very powerfully moving.
the self-reproachment in the face of the unaswerable is surely the mark of an angels heart and thats confirmed in the content of a gorgeous write.

Moonbeams intensify the sense of longing for the unrequited lover as our speaker yearns beneath the moon. The speaker is keenly aware of the absence of her lover who could easily be her soul mate. Your simile about the eternal promises and the curtains really conveyed the depth of that longing.

Thank you for your insightful comment :) Julie

This is really a superb piece with so authentic imsgery a perfect attribute of your style in all your beautiful verses. Your mature poems though are vividly depicted yet I keep myself away from expressing myself on such a matter, for I have a number of students reading all the comments that I pass. So please do not understand that I am neglecting your lovely poetry..Julie..:-)
