Heaven's Walls

I dance in the moonlight and see your face
Reflected in the water of mine eyes
Tranquil beauty with loves delicate grace
A kiss remembered of our past goodbyes
Memories seep through your old worn out coat
Holding me tight as your arms used to be
Smiling at the ways upon me you’d dote
Cherished secrets we shared of you an’ me.
The stars start to fade in the morning sky
With regret I wish my lover “goodnight”
Kissing my forehead you then softly sigh
“Please mind the bed bugs my dear, those things bite”
	Heart full of laughter from happier times
	To dream with you, heaven’s walls I would climb

'...bed bugs!' I love it!!! You have the sonnet form down to a fine art my dear... Best wishes, Keith (PS check out my 'Lovebirds;' the bugs get a mention there too!!!)

Beautiful with just the slightest tinge of wistfulness.

This is such a beautiful reflection of your love, Kat. The last line certainly brings your message home. In fact, it reminds me of a song. Think it's called "Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For." You have a great feel for romantic poetry! Love, Carolyn
