In the Evening Silence.

Here on the sands of Half Moon I yearn of those days I held you Breathed of you… Days of untold passions tasted Unrequited love … Innocence pure Where the world escaped you and I Sadness was just a word for others Nonexistent shame … Contented in that arduous cycle Where we shared of… Only two Perhaps if time were truly flowing and fluid And soft words were medicine enough Easing your pains… I would whisper you back to our moment Bereft of the guilt… Death carries Here on the sands of Half Moon I’m carried back on moonlit glow Breathing of you… Amassed in the need of our lost voices of Unrequited love… Reborn again

I was reading this and remembering David Loggins. He also wrote some great stuff, including 3 dog night's "Pieces of April." Before your time! Vince

Hello Charles The depth of love is eternal and grows deeper every day in ones own knowing and ones own longing to embrace it in the now even if we can't do that physically. When we can't we miss it so much.This is such a beautiful poem I read it a couple of times....Very creative and well expressed. It touches one deeply. Thanks for sharing this with us! Love Light Truth Patricia

Wow. Got chills with this one. Intense love and emotion of almost magical depths. The line "Sadness was just a word for others..." rings so true, in my memory of love also. Hope you find what you seek. Magnificent write. Love, Shar
