The moonlight cast upon the street A shadow there forever sketched And footprints carved of lovers’ feet Where in the night a sigh was etched A phrase of love was softly scrolled Upon a page of passing wind Unspoken words that didn’t unfold Engraved forever deep within She wandered back through lamplight’s glow In shadows of remembered bliss Embossed upon the lamp post found Impressions of a lasting kiss And from love’s overflowing well A single frozen teardrop fell In sparkling bits of icy lace A loving smile on his face Elizabeth Santos |

Beautifully sad piece of writing, Elizabeth, the teardrop being the catalyst of remembering of love lost. This is masterful, haunting poetry. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

"She wandered back through lamplight’s glow In shadows of remembered bliss Embossed upon the lamp post found Impressions of a lasting kiss" Enjoyed the entire write but this verse was mellow, soft, and filled with memory lasting forever. JL Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself. |
