                                             Image result for woman waiting for the train

How the movement of light seems to trace my ardor lingering in whirls of flame; where glimmers of a cherished dream become this heart’s desire to journey with you along waves of endless moments. I cuddle hours waning through faded notes, for my affection always clings inside your breath...but trickles of rain sweep this sweet intent I cannot ever have; yet I memorize those fingers well, knowing my love is one-sided... O painful the ache of a moon blue releasing your quickened look as the train whistles of farewell while you hug me mildly... calling me 'dear friend.' For Nayda Ivette Negron's Contest: Unrequited Love 11.30.2016

Excellent Nette, but then again, that is all you write. I liked everything, except the title. The title seems beneath the poem. Congrats!

Ah Nettie, I can surly identify with this superb gem, especially the last two lines...As they say: 'Been there, done that'...You have turned the pain of rejection into a thing of beauty with your usual style and elegance...A 1st place winner in my book - Tim

Oh, how the ending makes us feel. Nette, that is the real deal, and now it's like I need to take a painkiller. Cheers, Doug.

Written with depth and haunting tone tone, you give me this streak of melancholia utterly staggering and painfully erupting.A poem to re-read and remember as I have this thing about trains.

Nette, this is so sad. To have these feelings build up and then deflated by a friendly two word term that is not even close to what you wanted to hear. Your poem is beautifully, it is so wonderfully written, it keeps the reader up there with you and then watches us fall in the end, crying along. I really loved this poem.
