Once Upon A Time

Shadows are lengthening
the Sun is dipping down
I long to see yours
striding beside mine...
 

The ripples in the brook
kiss my naked feet
soon dusk drowns me
in forced solitude...
 

I stroll in the twilight
to a nascent void
where our muted song
plays live...
 

A quaking heart
keeps chasing the shadows away
a craving heart
keeps clutching them back again..
 


From crumpled sheets
now threadbare
the wrinkles serenade
our once-alive fairytale...

There are none in this poem . I was alluding to some poems are great yet they portray a bad image. Therefore whther the image is good or bad if it is written well the image will be vivid. Yours are strong images and good Chrys

I have read a few of your works these last few days and this one has really painted an image in my head, and it is full of tranquillity. The painted image has been carefully layered with your poetic brush strokes.
