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 16 January 2020 For Branda Chiri Picture Prompt Poetry Contest

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..."

"A picture of a thousand kisses Kept inside thy wallet Or on a mantle piece In broken frame".... this is the closest thing I've read to TRUTH here in these esteemed pages.
