Moonlight of Echoes

Moonlight of Echoes

Vision of moonlight
Twirling chiffon
Translucent feelings
Dance until dawn

Echo of music
Haunting refrain
Transparent heartache
Cry in the rain

Whisper of longing
Candlelit glow
Cold winter's nightmare
Blanket of snow

Memory of spirit
Captured in flight
Volatile moment
Stormy cold night

Tears - lapse of judgment
Wounded proud love
Reach out for answers
From far above

Lack of compassion
Strengthened resolve
Unspoken feelings
Never involved

Slow passage of days
Days turn to years
Regret helps soften
Heart filled with tears

Hugs of forgiveness
Open warm smile
Find resolution
Talk for a while

Twinkle of starlight
Sharing a laugh
At long last finding
Love's other half

Echoes of moonlight
Roses romance
Too much time wasted
Once more we danced!





Note: Syllabic verse is a poetic form having a fixed number of syllables per line or stanza regardless of the number of stresses that are present.

I wrote this poem (For Ricky's Granny's contest) in a doctor's waiting room. I know I was worried and it was an appointment for my mother, not myself. My mother (who passed away some time ago) was sitting next to me when I wrote this.
