His Amber Pendant

Dawn's light roused me from morning mist
Upon my breast, his amber pendant lies
Gently awakened when warmly kissed
as sunlight dapples across my sleepy eyes

Upon my breast, an amber pendant lies
I stand at my window in a whisp of a gown
as sunlight dapples across my sleepy eyes
I weep in fear that my heart may drown

I stand at my window in a whisp of a gown
feeling the sun's comfort in a loving embrace
I weep in fear that my heart may drown
Tears brush my cheeks as he touched my face

Feeling the sun's comfort in a loving embrace
Gently awakened when warmly kissed
Tears brush my cheeks as he touched my face
Dawn's light roused me from morning mist

wow, Lin, amazingly beautiful. I want to give you a seven and again it's gone. I went to other poets today and the rating box was still there!!! Anyway, you were REALLY inspired by that theme, lady.

Thanks so much, Andrea. I'm out of town and not up on PS doings, so I need to play catch up.

A 7:) There is sadness in this beautiful pantoum, Lin:( somehow, all poems I'm reading of late have a sad tone!!!

I've noticed that, Jo. A sign of our times these days, but all will get better, eventually. If you'd like a fun write, read Imagine the Sight of That. Something I wrote when I was 10. I think it'll make you smile. Thank you for commenting on this one.

This form is not an easy one, Lin, but that did not deter you from having a good go at it, and the final result is all in your favour! The content is beautiful, warm and tender. ~ Best regards // paul

I love the pantoum form Lin and you have written a gem - the amber pendant is very poignant in my life as my mother has some baltic amber from her visits to Lithuania with my late father and it holds a lot of memories for her:- hugs jan xx

Baltic amber is so lovely. I have several pieces of it that I've crafted into jewelry, and one is a pendant. This poem started out with me using tanzanite, but remembered my amber pendant. Thanks a lot for your comments, Jan.

Thank you so much, dear Eve. I haven't written many of these and though it DOES get a little confusing I enjoy writing them. You are so kind in your remarks.

Phantoms are a challenge Lin, and you have written a beauty! I hope Constance places this really high Lin. 7 ; )

Being in love with a phantom or with a fleshly person is the most unforgettable emotion in our lives. That's what makes it so painful when it's lost...we still can't forget. Thank you so much for always reading me, Connie.
