The night passed
On slopes gradin side
In colors grey

Moon’s face
Had in gradual way
Made its path
Across starlit sky
Turning black
To less
And moving shadows
In circular dance

I observed this
While waiting
For my heart
To find me
And once again
Beat in this chest

I observed this
But could not feel
For you took that
With you when
You left

what a lovely use of verbiage...it sets the whole scene, and the images then bring one in to see the longing left behind...

well done Sir...a beautiful write...

I especially like the imagery here:

Moon’s face
Had in gradual way
Made its path
Across starlit sky
Turning black
To less
And moving shadows
In circular dance

You provide a vivid set-up for the punchline at the end.  Powerful emotions represented here.

across the land of dreams. In your heart, I'd always be.

I observed this
While waiting
For my heart
To find me
And once again
Beat in this chest

====================

Your heart would beat again
forgetting all memory of past pain.

An enjoyable touching read with a somewhat haunting touch.......

Thank you

Funny how they do that, isnt it??  Nice write my friend.

Strive for higher levels, if they seem out of reach... Grow, and they will get closer.
