I am reminded
Again,
Of a first chance
To dance
On common ground
Of kindled romance
To be,
Still
Never to be,
Your rainbow's end
Opposed to me
Like two sides
Of the same river
Wrong place
Wrong time
The decision
To cross
Not yours
Nor mine
So much
Was
Left unsaid
Undone
As the moon
Slipped away
And the music
Played on.
First love and Lost love are very difficult to erase from sweet memory, Very well composed poem, I liked it...10+++
I like this wistful poem about potential (in romance) that was never realized. It makes you think 'What if? '.... The imagery of the'rainbow's end' opposed to me is good choice...as well as opposing sides of the same river... Well done and deftly written. I especially like this one...
Her name was Sharon; she was 13 and I was 17. We danced to Moon River at a party and kissed. Her parents prevented us from seeing one another again. I was recently contacted by her sister on Facebook and we are in touch again after 40 years. Ironically, the age difference doesn't matter anymore.
As the moon Slipped away And the music Played on. Very good words.....................
