Moonlight Tangerine

Bittersweet love Painting by Robert A. Richert

I will meet you by the winding river

where ripples flow downstream,

please wait and I will meet you 

where moonlight is soft tangerine;

I will try to be there~and if I cannot be

do not wait forever...no not for me.

 

Life will go on as always; 

the moon will always shine,

and I will sit upon the ole rock

and dream of love Divine.

 

So do not wait forever 

in shadows of the willow tree,

because I can only be there

in my dreams of reality;

so do not wait forever

not forever just for me.

 

I will dream of you

wherever you may be;

under Midwest heavens

under stars of eternity.

And in the reflection

of rippled moonlight sheen;

maybe~maybe next time

in moonlight tangerine.

Again geesh, ok you must be one of the finest producers of images in poetry ive read. Its true though, we cant always wait for dreams come true, we must live forward.

Yes sometimes we have to let our dreams go like a butterfly...but then sometimes you get what you ask for...and its not always as you hoped it would be ha...Rose

This was absolutely beautiful, Rose. The imagery you project, with the Tangerine hues of moonlight. The ardent longing and yearning you project, with the repletion of, 'Do not wait for me'...
breathtaking!
