In silken wishes
they whisper true love,
whilst slowly getting
lost in dreams
yet these words once again
were spoken in vain
as stars softly faded
to feathers
suffering in silence,
her soul escaped
to a darkness comforting
her tears
haunted by these memories
of that one Summer night,
when they danced on a kiss
of forever’s
but yesterday’s gone
and fate is fickle
with destiny’s wings
now frail
hearts don’t lie
and life is too short
so leap...
when you’re beckoned
to fly~

in silken wishes
shimmering in red
like crystal memories
lost in dreams
as stars softly fade
spoken in vain
only in dreams
hearts don't lie
as silhouettes dance
that one Summer
his cunning smile
suffering in silence
and fate is fickle
a bashful glance
yesterday's gone

Stunning piece, Jazzy
This touched my heart to tears and that makes for excellent poetry
Wishing you the best of life and love and all things beautiful -
Yes, by the end I wanted to cry lol!!! The imagery here paints such a depth ... How precious these moments in between remain, just after we've realized they're gone. Great write!!!

very gentle poem, despite the dark tones. I like the use of the phrasebank, and didn't realise this was the prompt until I had finished reading. I love the message 'so leap...
when you’re beckoned
to fly~'

Ahhhhhhhh well done. Yes, when love knocks, by all means grab it and get on board. lol. Life is very short, each day shorten our lives, leaving fewer. Life could be different, if we but grasp the preciousness of it, and its frailties. Stop wasting it on fruitless activities and pursuits. This one made me think and these thoughts came to mind. Thank you.

"but yesterday’s gone
and fate is fickle

and life is too short
