John Gondolf Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

  

 Painting: "Unknown Places"  by  Monika Luniak

 

 

Dreaming of Yesterday's Wine

Dreaming of Yesterday's Wine

Sitting alone at the edge of the ocean
breathing the mist and the brine;
pondering deeply the seas endless motion
while dreaming of yesterday’s wine.

Ocean breeze blowing through golden locks flowing
over her shoulders divine.
Missing caresses and love always showing
while dreaming of yesterday’s wine.

Tenderness traded their passions they sated
under the moons gentle shine;
longing for rewind of moments created
and dreaming of yesterday’s wine.

One day it happened temptation came calling
beckoning seemed so benign
‘twas but an omen of times so appalling
now dreaming of yesterday’s wine.

Love they once shared now just memories pondered,
moments in time left behind;
thinking so sadly her love that was squandered
and dreaming of yesterday’s wine.

Carolyn Devonshire November 2, 2018 at 6:38 PM How skillfully you create the "longing for rewind" this woman is experiencing. The beach is a perfect setting as that's where many go to relive past moments of happiness and dream of what might have been. A beautiful story of love and loss unfolds while she dreams of "yesterday's wine." Stunning, John. Best wishes in the contest, my friend. Hugs, Carolyn John Gondolf November 3, 2018 at 7:12 AM Thank you for the wonderful comment, Carolyn. For me the seashore is the perfect place for solitude and reminiscing. I appreciate you and your thoughts. All my best. John

Brandy Nicole November 2, 2018 at 11:54 AM Love is like the wind, holding you so close- so tight, or softly sweeping over your skin- just enough to create a memory. Leaving you with an ache, your heart longing for so much more. You have expressed this emotion perfectly my dear friend. This is sad, but beautiful, all at the same time. ~ Brandy John Gondolf November 2, 2018 at 12:05 PM Thank you, Brandy, I always enjoy hearing your poetic thoughts and comments as beautiful as poetry itself.
