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 Sonnet

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

Congratulations Robert Lindley, it is so long since we have communicated and commented on each other's poems, so I thought that this wonderful honour of POTD bestowed on you for this awesome poem which I liked so very much, was a sign and a good reason to break our silence. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

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...

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!

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...

Thank you my friend. 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...
