the one I loved has gone before
a diamond in the night
she rests amid the silent stars
and hidden from my sight
though she may sing a melody
that I did once adore
I cannot hear her muted voice
from that most distant shore
I cannot touch her gentle hand
nor feel her rhythmic breath
nor sense the spice of her perfume
for they are stilled by death
and yet I know she waits for me
within some star lit place
where I will find her kiss again
beyond the moon's embrace
Wowww. beautiful n heart-touching. So full of hope n optimism. A reunion with the loved one keeps the hope alive. A lovely poetic write on love n loss. You deal with this theme in the best possible way.10
Thank you so much Nosheen. I appreciate your praise and encouragement.
Soul's pain for lost love in its great majesty.Kudos, Barry.
Thank you Dimitrios. It's great to have you as such a faithful reader of my work.
I just read this online. The words are so pretty. Yes, pretty is the perfect word. The content of course, is beautiful but sad. Beyond the moon's embrace are many people waiting to be kissed...again.
A bleeding heart seeks his love. Your poem touches the heart.10
