Sleepless

~ heartprints and longing ~

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

"How I ache for a whisper of you
of angel wings
and eternal promises"
Some place are safe zones for the heart. Never attempted, never loved and always wishing for more. Thank you dear friend for sharing the amazing poetry.

Heavy sigh....if only. We never know when "goodbye" will happen, do we? Perhaps it is best we don't. The melancholy in every line of this is strong, Julie. Promises are sometimes broken by no fault of the people involved. However, the impact is just as intense. Honest emotions expressed so well. Lydi**

"A kiss of wind upon a starlit wish to soothe a shattered heart that knew nothing of goodbye" Your poem touches my heart in a big way. It is romantic with a hint of sadness that always seems to accompany love no matter how hard we try to avoid it. So very beautiful, Julie.

I love it. You write so beautifully and make it seem so effortlessly. I left out a sigh, the heartbroken scars we carry, your wish in this writing is so delicate and lovely....A kiss upon a starlit wish....awww....How I ache for a wisper of you angel wings. Loved it from the first word, and was thinking of myself, and heartache we all have felt. Your metaphors are from the divine...thank you so much. I feel great now. I always do after reading your poems. They are so light, I am picked up on a cloud, especially this one. Thank you.

It is a silhouette writing which reflects solitude which seeks company of a particular individual in quite beautiful manner.

I liked the true creative essence for this write. The last stanza is my favorite though. If only a treasured & heartfelt wish could heal the first inception of a dashing unknown pain coupled with loneliness. Great work. A remarkably authentic read. :)
