Room With A View

You promised me a sunset,

a view of pastel hues.

Soft candied pinks and violets

between the gold and blues.

No finer gift was given

of shades both dark and light,

as dusk brings down its curtains

and day paves way for night.

I'm grateful for the giving,

my thoughts conveyed and spoken.

I wish we could have shared it,

these words a simple token.

Promises, promises... empty words without actions to back it up.

No finer gift was given
of shades both dark and light

I rely love that part.

He either had a forked tongue or his fingers were crossed behind his back, room service was a joke, the restaurant was closed and it probably rained for a week
It happens!

[Chris Shaw]

Laughing at your response Dave. Hope you are having an OK day.

[john l smith]

It is a good day, Snow still covering the daffies but the sun is shining
Enjoy yours

[Chris Shaw]

Good you have sunshine:) Nice day here today, dark now though.

[Coyote Poetry]

Things, not done. More regret than the failures we attempted. Wonderful poetry shared dear Chris.

You are welcome dear Chris. I hope you are warm and cozy. I am very tire of Winter.

[Chris Shaw]

We have had warmer weather today and I have been working in the garden. A sure sign spring is on its way. I hope you see a change in temperature soon.

Yes indeedy Chris. Those bloody holiday brochures from the travel agent are so full of s**t, and there wasn't a pool either. :)
How many broken promises do we get in one lifetime? I don't know, but I do know all those broken pieces rattle when I walk. If I were ever so foolish to do something as indane as go for a jog, I would sound like an over excited castanets player on acid :)
I know! I'm sorry for such a mundane response that you've probably heard a hundred times before. I am just so unoriginal :)

[Chris Shaw]

Don't talk to me about holiday brochures Lorry. You just reminded me of when our balcony opened on to a noisy building site. Yes, we moved hotels. Wasn't gonna stay there. Never know where your responses are gonna take me next. Good morning to you :)

oh yes, promises promises...looking towards the future with someone who claims a beautiful sunset and sunrise together...as we look out the window, alone.

The waiting, while the hours race and another day comes to its end ....all those pages in the book of memories with words of token written are reminders of broken promises! You really know how to paint emotions in beautiful colors, chris.

[Chris Shaw]

Many thank yous Mrudula for your review. Always a delight to see you visit.

[Stella Armour]

false promises of enjoying beautifuls sunsets together, romantic and inviting, but then his absence takes away any pleasure found :(

[Chris Shaw]

Yes, the beautiful view Stella is always better shared. Many thanks.

This started off for me in a romantic tone until the final two lines which made it feel more of a lament for something lost. Filled with pathos.

[Chris Shaw]

Definitely a disappointment being felt here John. Thank you so much.
