Young Love (For John Loving - Haunted Poets)

Under silver moonlight down a lane of Bradford Pear Two lovers strolled their hands entwined in gentle love. Love that tells of innocent hearts and lasting care Luminescent the harvest moon omniscient above. White confetti drifting down on sighing breeze, Who is that watching from the darkest trees? Burning eyes that speak betrayal of loyal trust Wicked knife glinting for revengeful thrust. Gentle lovers lost in moonlight embrace Drinking deeply of love's honey wine. Standing on a white carpet of fragile lace Hearts and minds that gently entwine. Red confetti swirling on the sighing breeze Who is gloating from the darkest trees? Sweet revenge that burns from staring eye Luminescent the harvest moon in pallid sky. When walking down a lane of Bradford Pear You might see two lovers stroll in misty haze, Beware of who lurks in the shadows there The heart with hate and revenge ablaze. *** So Mr. Loving the deed was done so very long ago Forever repeated under the light of harvest moon. Go back to sleep for truth will surface in the glow Of young love that blossomed and ended too soon. So Matthew Anish please take it from here.

Dear Heidi, thanks for stopping by with your comments. I enjoyed this verse very much and remember John's "chain" on haunted poets. It seems you have taken a break from writing. Hope all is well with you! Love and blessings, Carolyn

Smile ~ "Your Treasures," after always signing off with the sentiment of 'regards' as "Your Beauty" did all the boys; suddenly one day "Your Gifted Radiance" signed off with, "Love, Heidie;" although that was quickly corrected there after but, twas sweet to myself because, I Always admired and loved "Your Precious 'Heart & Soul!!!'" ~ Perhaps "Your Glowing" was overcome that one particular day because of my love for "You!?" ~ Cont:)

Dear Heidie, Thanks for your comment on my poem. A rather drastic cure for writers block, a friend of mine pointed out. I simply loved your poem, Young Love. It’s beautifully written and a little spooky, too. I specially enjoyed the ease with which you use rhyme. Love, Amy

Dear Heidie Beautiful images in this one! I am a little confused. Did you want me to write another stanza to "Young Love"? And what exactly did you nominate me for? Yours Matthew Anish
