Dead End Street

As sunlight faded earth’s rich brocade,

We followed the flight of the birds,

Past the emerald forest now in shade,

Our silence spoke a thousand words.

 

We climbed up a ladder of blue cloud.

To sit on a moon edged roof,

Far away from the madding crowd.

Hearts filled with vibrating truth.

 

Our shadows danced in melodies of mist

As we drifted through the circling stars.

Our souls tumbling, flying, when we kissed,

For one night only heaven was ours.

 

A moment that ought to last forever,

Had come and gone before we knew,

Hearts which opened like flowers in spring,

Destined to become covered with mildew.

 

Then life jarred with it’s barks and crows

As the saffron sunrise filled the sky,

We lingered with pearl drops in our eyes,

Lifting our hands to wave goodbye.

Now we have become ash of the starlight,

Corners of our dreams take us ever on repeat

To the falls and clouds of our beginning,

Where fate had chosen a dead end street.

This is stunningly beautiful vignette about two people sharing only a small window of pleasure. Your rhyme & rhythm are strong & your imagery is off the charts with originality. I love the way you write in a whimsical style, yet your lines are mostly constructed as if telling a story – best of both worlds. This describes many of my relationships thru-out my life. I’ve never been good at sticking to a relationship for very long & your poem makes this deficiency feel like a blessing (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie
