En Passant *

A winsome moon;
not round and single,
but cleaved
as if intuitively
it knew
that my friend and I
were about to excuse ourselves
from the dining room table,
and, with the board,
settle in
beside the window.

* En Passant: French. In chess, to capture 'in passing'.

Magnificent. There is something so gentle about this poem. It filled me with a feeling of softness. Very well done.  

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

...my friend hung
his coat on the
moon's tip
and settled in
for the spell...

such consise, succinct, impact and imagery...
very well done poet sir...
good to read you again.  

Ice covers my soul
spirit frozen--heart cold
Still so much about me is raw
So I search for a place to thaw
