Daniel Turner Poet Quatrain

The End of the Road

We parked at the end of the road
Like so many times before
The moon was a sight to behold
In the eyes of the one I adore

It was there, where we first kissed
Two kids discovering love
The moon twisting  my wrist
Gave my cowardly heart a shove

Some nights, we'd just sit and talk
What we wanted life to be
Occasionally, get out and walk
Take a blanket, neath the cottonwood trees

Spring breaks, at home from school
Even after we'd tied the knot
Since that very first time, I'm a fool
For the moon in your eyes, in our spot

Tonight we're here once again
Our past, worth more than gold
From that first time here, just friends
Parking at the end of the road

Andrea Dietrich January 4, 2017 at 7:54 AM You did wonderfully well with this romantic take of the theme, Daniel. This is one I definitely want to get started on. Love this one of yours.

Freddie Robinson Jr. January 3, 2017 at 3:18 PM I agree w/Paul. Give an old romantic like me a warm feeling in my heart going down memory lane, even though there's no parking there at the end of this road. Lovely poem, Daniel. Keep on loving each other, that's whats so beautiful about this endearing poem. Love and best wishes this Happy New Year.

Paul Callus January 3, 2017 at 3:03 PM Truly beautiful, touching the strings of my heart, Daniel! Now, why should an old romantic like me have misty eyes!! #7+ Regards // paul

Jean Murray January 3, 2017 at 8:48 AM My mum and dad seperated after thirty years together Daniel. Like your beautiful last verse, they had become friends again. She was with him to whisper a prayer in his ear as he lay dying from a ruptured aortic aneursym at home.

Sunita U.D Palawon January 1, 2017 at 11:00 PM You spoke the heart's language...so sure it goes directly to the heart..OMG what the world would be without such poetic discourse! :D

CayCay Godwin January 1, 2017 at 9:32 PM Sadness slowly and steadily drips from each stanza, the emotion is lonely with longing that touched me! This is a feeler, Daniel - I expect all the entries for this contest may tug my heart! All the best ... CayCay

Gary Bateman January 1, 2017 at 6:43 PM Hello Daniel, I certainly agree with John that this is a superb poem. You pull the reader very quickly into the life journey until you the parking at "the end of the road." The ultimate durability of a true friendship is so very important. Enjoyed it!! Best New Year's Wishes . . . Gary
