Yesterday I saw anew
the tiny piece
of moon parchment
nailed to the sky,
peeking through the
soft veil of marble clouds.
Sunken deep in the blue
it enchanted me
with the pale light
washed up
by autumn rain.
It was so quiet,
only nature listened to my sigh,
how much I yearn
to be with you.
I wished to touch it,
to blow golden dust
over the sky,
to float your way
on the rivers of my wish,
to light your nights,
to bring the soft shadows
of peace to your pillow,
and to bring smiles
to the necklace
of your dreams.

Outstanding pen!
Sonja, I couldn't wait to read this, your title drew me clicking like flies on honey, and was rewarded
with imagey so utterly poetic I have goosebumps. To quote a favorite part would be to paste the poem in its entirety, BRAVA!
This is definately my newest favorite by you, bookmarking!
Let the ink flow sweetie!!
love and blessings,
Sandi

the softness of your word surpasses the nature it is supposed to borrow from... wonder who borrows from whom...

Outstanding
This is a beautiful love poem full of rich imagery. I liked your choice of language and the romantic tone. I don't think anyone here writes romance as well as you. Best of luck in the contest.
