Panagiota Romios Poet Free verse

Summer Night Without Your Spouse

       When the silver moon tangoes out, with a lyrical hum,
       And my heart beats like the gentlest drum.

       Then, does my warm breathing hearspeed,
        Oh, it is then, you, just you, I so lovingly need!

        Come here, oh so close, bright, sweetheart of mine,
        Crystal Anniversary glasses of chilled, Chardonnay wine.

         It is then..that with moonlit tears do I awaken,
         The sad realization, by God, was ‘twas years ago you were taken!

Paul Callus September 20, 2025 at 2:13 PM Hi Pangie! I suspected from the title that I was in for an emotional offering. That realization of loss is a hard pill to swallow, especially after such a beautiful romantic first part of the poem. The older we grow, the more we tend to rely on special memories. ~ Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Best regards // paul Panagiota Romios September 20, 2025 at 7:16 PM Hi Paul…i do not usually groan over loss poems style, but loss hurts. I am well, yes for being practically the age of Moses! I hope you are well, too Paul. I just posted a couplet you might.It has a joyful ending! “Pangie”
