Winged Warrior Poet Rhyme

Haunted By a Long Lost Love

Haunted by a Long Lost Love

The world before me is a venomous vampire
As your venom seeps thru my window sill
Nestled by nocturnal night breathing dragons fire
Cuddled by the corner of my room a slaving still

For I am haunted by a long lost love
My prayers are lost as they drift on high
For they escape below and so above
As I watch the gilded leaves of autumn sigh

On a passing cloud there floats a dream
Where your ghost will end its phantom fright
But for now, I let loose a silent scream
Echoes of love, silhouettes in moonlight

My heart sings a broken saddened song
For I sit in solitude beside the towering trees
Waiting for someone else to come along
Caressed by the soft song of a summers breeze.

Pandita Sietesantos September 6, 2018 at 2:23 PM Wow, WW - this is such a beautiful, haunting piece of the beloved one who has left but whose presence is still strongly felt. You so skillfully and creatively applied all five phrases in such a wonderful way even using rhymes! This is a fave in my books and surely a winner in the contest! Love and hugs. Pandita

Brandy Nicole August 30, 2018 at 6:50 PM Being haunted by a long lost love is enough to make a heart slow down- a scream release in the dark of night. Your thoughts are mysterious and hold many emotions. I have posted something you might like, read it when you can. It's called "Tangled Inside" ~ Brandy
