I Sat Alone

I sat alone 
with the moon
last night – in
the deep dark;
till the dim light
and then
the morrow;

I spoke of Love's enchantment...
of Love's joys, and of loveless
sorrows...

I asked, had she also counted – 
with the happy hours – 
the many unrequited tears?

Had she kept a few of my own?

For joy and sorrow, does Her Light
show different tone? Or for Her,
is it all the same moan?

Hi Pangie; yep, can't deny it -- if writing is not deep feeling (less mechanical, and structured) It can't even begin to approach, what I would call poetry. Poetry is really a synonym for, From-the-heart....
