Night Time's Starlight Moon

night time’s starlight moon
curdles the whey of longing
clouds mask heart’s desire
trembling arms reach out to you
train whistles haunt the captives

Smile* ~ A souring; a concealing; a burning passion; and a continuum of hearts chains perhaps, unto the wallls of something extremely beautiful such as that we call, "Pure 'Sweeet Love!!!'" ~ This is what my humbled eyes somewhat do find amid this magnificently painted canvas of splendid expression, my dear ~ "Simply 'Beautiful' &, 'A RedHeartDiamond Fave.'" ~ "My Love & Warmth to 'You Always' &, All You Love, 'Forevermore,'" John!:) ~

Smile* ~ I find sooo much amazing depth amid these four lines of wonderfully brushed verse "My Dear, 'Beautiful & Gifted, Debra Guzzi!!!'" ~ Although, I find not anything close unto, "Lovely Carolyns," reflections in part towards its stirring images although what I do somewhat find is, aside from the usual for the most brilliance amid, "Your Beauties, 'Wonderful Creations of Poetic Art!!!'" ~ Cont:)

An interesting write. Is the writer on an overnight train bound for somewhere?

You poem reminds me of those who fled Germany by rail to escape Hitler's wrath. I know this is a love poem, but somehow that image stuck in my head. Nice work, Deb. Love, Carolyn
