Contest-Fantasy

Sponsor- Constance La France

This night of silence with its moonglow
offers me a long-sought resolution towards serenity
allowing my thoughts to wander into my past
    with a "visualization" to another time
filled with beautiful faces that will never age
    drifting "whimsy" memories
When life was love and love was lived
    like a devotional "dream"
to be captured and injected with fragrant flowers
In a world filled with colorful "imagination"
    and engaged "reverie"

I lift my eyes to the night sky
holding each bittersweet recollection
    When I shared my heart
Remembering each face caressed
that hangs suspended in my mind, resting
like a "hallucination" of motionless yesteryears
When my heart dripped sobs from tender desires
    And life was never thought of
Rather lived and experienced, drenched by passing lovers
trapped in emotional landslides of tortured expectations
    Leaving too many eyes, I looked into
becoming shadows of stolen, sad years
that weigh heavily in this night of silence
where I'll ask my heart for forgiveness
