Christopher Flaherty Poet Free verse

Picture Prompt Poetry Contest Brenda Chiri

I love you to the moon and back

Stuck in lover's purgatory

A picture of a thousand kisses

Kept inside thy wallet

Or on a mantle piece

In broken frame

Underneath a waxing moon

Where werewolves howl

And the tides come in and out

That star crossed lover's never notice

Because they are so engrossed

Caught up in the rapture

Of the here and now

Front and centre of the picture

Lady Labyrinth January 18, 2020 at 3:01 AM Very beautiful in it's simplicity. A message for all those seeking understanding and love. Good luck Flaherty. This is a winner. But whether it receives a trophy or not, you know it's a 'true' winner. "...the tides come in and out..."
