Haunted By a Long Lost Love

Haunted by a long- lost love,
searching the heavens up above
my lover is all I can dream of.

The gilded leaves of Autumn sigh 
as his eyes close to say goodbye; 
I kiss his lips and pray as I cry.

On a passing cloud there floats a dream, 
as I see him fishing downstream 
with the Lord by his side he is seen.

Silhouettes in Moonlight, 
dancing to the sounds of the night 
as the autumn turns into winter gleaming lights. 

The soft song of a Summer Breeze, 
jasmine nodding leaves mingle in the trees,
my lover is all I can think of as I fall to my knees.

This is a beautifully sad poem that speaks to the heart. Though there is a hint of sorrow there is also the feel of a joyful and almost happy vision knowing that this person is safe and doing what they love. Nicely expressed Eve.

The last three lines have touched my heart. What a fine theme of love, care and prayer. I believe that love is really a great feeling; but unfortunately I never got a chance to experience it. But I know that it will be far different from my imagination. A very beautiful poem… take care Eve….
