Veil of Despair

The crying of a lonely night, pine's branches drooping moonlit white as sighing winds touch heaven’s gate, without the need to stand and wait for every roaming rainclouds' stare, she needs to ask the why or where in moments when pain veils her face so sullen, yet so full of grace; as her swan wings clutch twilight's hues dripping tears from November's dues yet, eyes open their crystal plumes with hopes of flowers' newborn blooms © ------------ Contest: Joyce Johnson's The Rhyming Game By: nette onclaud

What a beautiful Poem you have painted on the canvas of Poetry Soup. It is more than beautiful. Great and outstanding write my friend. It is going to be my fav. Poem. "The emptiness of Autumn’s sky, when leaves and flowers slowly die speaks mainly of a sense of grief~ a blossom dead ~ a wilting leaf' Amazing lines and wonderful flow which moves the mind and heart. I have placed a new Poem ' Take me away but I will come to sing a song' Hope you would read it. Love and best wishes Netto...Ravindra...n onclaud
