Love Notes

The full moon hung heavily in the heaven's
Reflecting on the water below
The ocean waves played a melody
Lulling peacefulness into
the stillness of the night.
A virginal vision dressed in white
rides upon her white steed.
Throughout the forest
a fine mist, hangs
Glistening, the woods
in fairy like glow.
The stars twinkled, in sad refrain,
the ocean, lapped timelessly ,upon the shore
Mimicing the beating of the heart.
She gazes, over the ocean ,where,
the full moon illuminates.
Her crystal tears, flow.
In her hand, letters,
written but never sent.
Love notes, that will never be read.
For, he died that day
Never declaring the love she felt
Now all that remains
Pieces of paper
Written but never sent.

A fairy tale that has so much magic and emotion in it. Reminds me of those tales of romance I read when I was a child. Love it Phyl!

Hello, lovely Phyllis, I like the moon hanging deep in heavens way. Thank you for the exciting image. I also liked the melody the ocean waves play through my mind in your poem. It gives me a very young but longing feeling. a double wow to your illuminating flowing story. It presents a sad tone and flow. I can't help and feel a sad thought. Your poem started off very dreamy, in a deep filled with stillness epic way. This note left a very dangling feeling. :-)Enjoyed have yourself a good night~PD
