Sprinkled Stardust In Her Long Flowing Hair

Sprinkled Stardust In Her Long Flowing Hair

In bright moonlight I saw her standing there
Sprinkled stardust in her long flowing hair
She looked just like an angel to me
If only this country-boy she could see
Looking for love and a heart bold and true
And happiness, with a future with you
'neath canopy of glittering sweet stars
She would be my Venus, I her strong Mars.

Wonder what would love be without her hand
Could I truly live, could I even stand
And earth could it a greater treasure gift
Than her sight, her soft touch that so uplifts.

In bright moonlight I saw her standing there.
Sprinkled stardust in her long flowing hair.

R.J. Lindley,  Nov 09 1979

Susan Ashley Date: 8/27/2021 9:59:00 AM My dear friend, your romantic musing captures my heart's imagination with its expressive depths, beautiful artistry and poetic finesse. "In bright moonlight I saw her standing there. / Sprinkled stardust in her long flowing hair." - such rich adoration for a beloved flows from your golden pen.. this line so stirs my soul, then sets the stage so wonderfully for you to spill your romantic heart across the wanting page. Congratulations for POTD honors with this exquisite gem, Robert. A wise and worthy choice! Warmest wishes, my inspiring friend.. ~Susan Login to Reply

Gregory Richard Barden Date: 8/8/2021 12:23:00 AM How charming and romantic, Robert, with the whimsical imagery I love ... I really enjoyed this gem - adding to favorites - keep up the great work! Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/8/2021 4:10:00 AM Thank you my friend. I am now going through old poems to present. Finishing up some poem fragments that are decades old. As I have old boxes from 30/40 years ago that have loads of old poems that I have forgotten about. This poem was from 42 years ago. And yes, that beautiful lady was real.. Thanks for the fav! God bless...

James Edward Lee Sr. Date: 8/7/2021 10:42:00 AM Why, I mean WOW this is so lovely wish it were a song set to music, a ballad a duet WOW... inspirational and a "FAV" as I read of the love he has for her. in more than just words her hair was her cord, heavenly hold, so precious and bold standing there. Sprinkled stardust in her long flowing hair. A winner James Write On! Login to Reply Robert Lindley Date: 8/8/2021 4:05:00 AM Thank you my friend. Youth provided such treasures-but-- also such massively hurtful losses as well. When one has survived much, they become stronger. God bless...

I was a very young 25 years old then and mesmerized by the beauty that saw something in me other than my wildness and my dedication to living like there would be no tomorrow... God bless...
