Panagiota Romios Poet Rhyme

Nightbound Tides

         *************
If only one stupendous wish had I,
It would be to see only a moonlit, star-studded sky.
When this frenzied world is divinelly asleep and still.
Just the sound of the fish splashing happily in that 
rock-lit pond on my beloved moonlit hill.
When nobody is running to and fro,
With news of the day, so very negative, bro!

I simply cannot take anymore prophets of doom.
I prefer drifting in poetic reverie in my candle scented 
bedroom.
To recall perchance,in a muse blessed,dreamlike state,
The intoxicating aroma of cherry blossoms in another
time and place.
To eternally love you and your divinely chiseled body
and face.

Days of boundless joy, I will always treasure.
Of the many decades God blessed me to live in health 
and auspicious splendour.
The endless seconds and minutes and years ahead.
Not rushed, just to quietly pen more thoughts in a room 
full of roses, intoxicating, and of the deepest red.

Tom Cunningham March 13, 2020 at 9:04 AM Hope you're having a lovely day Panagiota, ignore the merchants of doom, what will be will be, we can't control the future. Tom Panagiota Romios March 13, 2020 at 9:17 AM I should not have writen that phrase at all.sorry. The poem speaks to more than that, it is a "song of gratitude." We cannot control God's will.No chance! But we most certainly can choose every word we listen to read,hear and cut negative people out of our lives. I am having a quiet, introspective day. Hugs, Tom. thank you~ your generosity of soul totally astounds me! Panagiota. xxx
