“ONE LEFT IN THE NIGHT”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
In the darkness of shadows
concealed I lie with
you and sleep, your warmth
touches me calming
my being…

Dark once were the days and
the chasm of nights
echo’s as I dreamed and
searched the deepness
of the void, not
knowing if or when I
would ever find one true…

One thousand dreams passed
into eternity as the stars
kissed the moon
and then disappeared,
until there
was only one left
in the night…

My dreams begin with one, and are surrounded in the same.  

Beautiful poem BC~ especially the ending.

Bill...This was just a spectacular poem. I especially love your first verse:

In the darkness of shadows
concealed I lie with
you and sleep, your warmth
touches me calming
my being…

Sounds like there is one who is tucked inside your heart. Wonderful writing, my friend. ***Ivy Rose

God Bill . . . this is beautiful
reminds me of the full moon
and a lone star I saw in the
sky that night
a good night indeed

Bill,
I must say, you are consistent. Consistently romantic. I do enjoy so much your writing. This was especially good.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Just had to come back for another read.
This truly is lovely, Bill...and these lines...

"One thousand dreams passed
into eternity as the stars
kissed the moon"

I just love the thought of that.
