Moonlight and Wind

in #poetry6 years ago

The lights of a car
Cross the black window.


You are gone
And I am alone
In the house.

The petals of the crab apple
Fall in the garden;

The moments slip by
Unperturbed.


On the floor of the verandah
A patch of moonlight
Trembles as if on cue
With the wind;

I hear your voice
And the ghost of the curtain

Reminds me of you
In your white dress.

Por qué todo el amor viene de golpe en las noches, cuando se siente más la soledad, @johnjgeddes? Es en ese estado cuando se percibe la ausencia y hasta se puede sentir que la otra persona te acompaña en la distancia. La noche, con su halo oscuro, te envuelve en un amezcla de nostalgia. No ocurre así en el día. De repente es el silencio que te hace rememorar, casi en un suspiro la presencia del que se fue. Te abrazo

Eso es muy perceptivo, Nancy, y la noche es el medio que permite esas experiencias: no hay suficiente realidad, no hay suficiente autenticidad.

A bittersweet write, John. I imagine a widower missing his departed wife. He finds both solace and pain in her memory.

Wonderful write:)

very imaginative, Pryde - it could inspire a story :)

@therealwolf 's created platform smartsteem scammed my post this morning (mothersday) that was supposed to be for an Abused Childrens Charity. Dude literally stole from abused children that don't have mothers ... on mothersday.
