Night Shadows

Missing image


The evening holds
a special power over me
taking my mind, through the dark
and laying me upon the past, I dream to hold

Twilights shadows
become the memories of you
and play around the places we loved in
easing the belief...  you are just a breath away

 

Near the water edge

candels burns, lighting your lovely face 
and shimmering waves reflect the moon like diamonds
Even the night air is alive with you,  I smell your kiss upon the wind

 

and I dream... of what has been



Lee

 

Author notes

Words from my memories and for the very pritty prompt
I changed the font in each stanza, to give the words perspective against the picture

    Thank you for your thoughts in writing this Rick. You are right, it is very lovely. I can feel the passion when I close my eyes and see the lights and the reflection off the water.
    What has been, is a great memory.
    Thank you Rick
    Love
    Steffany

    Hi Rick,
    Thank you once again for this beautiful poem. I loved the form that you have given the words and the picture is incredible. I detect a feeling of sadness and loneliness in interwoven in your poem, which always appeals to me.
    Thanks again...Sue.

    What beautiful images this brings. I can picture this, a romantic night, the reflection of soft lights, a chorus of love and night sounds, a special memory to cherish or perhaps relive. VEry tender, intimate and dreamy.
    Just lovely my dear friend.
    love,
    Michelle
