Whims of Moonlight

Do you miss me, too?

Eyes misted once I read 

I closed them and shook my head 

Breathed in my resolve, and stared hard 

Instead 

Sheets have dropped in temperature 

Hands have caressed the firm lines 

In bed 

This roof of dreams once reflected night 

Of stars that captured the whims of moonlight

Future uncertain yet presently clear;

Even a love, so tight, could be bound 

By fear

I do agree.
"Even a love, so tight, could be bound
By fear"
Fear can make sweetness turn sour. Very nice flow of words led reader to a honest ending. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

I like this, truthful
I enjoyed this a lot, wonderful rhyme scheme as well.

[Laurierose]

I try to be as transparent as possible. I feel as if we can't relate when we aren't as aware. Thank you so much for the kind review!

Mystical...I like that :) Thank you for the sincere review, my friend.

[lightsong]

tender and gently flowing my dear friend, sometimes we face uncertainties even through the greatest Love, all the negative feelings their source is fear, sometime it's even our fear of losing that loved one what lead us into this kind of situation, but surely we can beat it with our faith.

[Laurierose]

Yes, I agree. Fear is often the source of the greatest. It is our own perspective and actions that have the greatest influence on love. Thank you for the sincere review.

I could feel your emotions through this, it tugs.
Nicely expressed emotions through out.

[Laurierose]

Thank you! This piece did pull many emotions from me to the page. I'm glad you enjoyed! Thanks for the review.

[Rye]

not a problem...

I kinda love the way this moonlight pondering feels a little scrambled, which is a realistic depiction of how our minds can wander as we sit in the luminescent darkness. It feels like this narrator can't decide whether to go forward or hold back. I love the way you offer glimpses such as "sheets have dropped in temperature" to suggest "cold feet" or "abandonment" . . . it all feels kinda "iffy" . . . what will be the whimsical outcome of these moonbeam reflections? (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Laurierose]

You've definitely captured the whimsicality of this piece! Thanks for the kind words :)

Sooo poignantly beautiful, Laurie 🍂
My eyes misted-over, too, by the soft tinges of sensual sweetness, blended into sadness, and just a pinch of regret thrown in to make this wondrously rendered piece come alive with emotion and the depths of feeling.
Your ease of flow, the "unique to You" ways you express the essence of your meanings, and spot-on, unmeasured rhyme-scheme works brilliantly.
Love is like this isn't it, Laurie(?) … an anomaly of both uncertain and clear, even good love, when it's sadly, tightly "bound by fear".

You've deeply touched the softness of my heart … thank you! ⁓ Richard 🍃

[Laurierose]

Aw! You always find a way to make my day with these lovely words :) This review was poetry itself. Love is like this; a hint of bitter and subtly sweet. Thank you!

[Richard🖌]

It's wonderful knowing my intentions worked, Laurie. , )
Just drop by for a read 'n review … You're "always" welcome at "my place".

'This roof of dreams once reflected night - Of stars that captured the whims of moonlight .. '

Words deftly put and oh so true to emotions felt. Bt seems regret holds partly tarnished thoughts here.. a sad reflection of a past fact or perhaps, fiction.

[Laurierose]

Regret does play a part in this as well. Thank you for the thoughtful review.

[Robert Trakofler]

I apologize for intruding on your romantic ruminations that you expressed so lovely. Great rhythm and rhyme in a very sensuous voice full of longing. Nice to meet you :)

[Laurierose]

No apologies needed. I’ve enjoyed your insight on this. Great to meet you as well!

[Robert Trakofler]

i do like this as i read it again again and then I read it again

[Laurierose]

Aw, I'm glad you enjoyed this!

[Weeping willow]

Wonderfully expressed, love the moon and the magic of your words ;-}

[Laurierose]

The moon does hold a certain amount of magic, doesn’t it? Thank you for the sincere comment.
