You Touched Me

You were there as a friend,
in each moment of need
and you touched me,
as your eyes followed
and my words pressed
your mind.

You brushed me,
with each thought that rested
upon my screen in return;
sometimes with a tenderness
of a read, sometimes
to embolden me to write my heart
and always to share and
improve upon our poetic thoughts.

In our search for contentment,
I am happy I was shown
this place of passions
and shared it with you
and with the few of us that I knew
would feel the comfort offered
and given in return,
unconditionally.

I saw in you
what many others did and more;
a magic woven
with threads of words to enchant,
drawing one into your world,
a land of romance
with delicate detail
to every sensation.

I wanted to capture you,
your artist look, in eyes
so distinguished and gentle and kind
in youth and in age,
in words and in strength
of a forever friendship.

I shall always wish that time
had remained on our side
and that we could have shared
a few words of friendship
and the viewing pleasures,
at Longwood Gardens.

In my moments of real,
you will remain in my heart
and I will always see you
in the shadow of the moon....

Maureen

*In The Shadow of the Moon*

Autumn's soft breezes whirl round the moon
Our hearts rising croon to the light of the moon

Signs of fall drift round toes as we scuff
Down the beach rough in the shadow of moon

Bright colored leaves, oranges yellows and reds
On the sand they are bled by the silvery moon

Warm for a fall night clothing wouldn't be missed
An extra warm kiss we sway 'neath the moon

Surf lapping lightly, we hardly see foam
The pipers do roam to hide from the moon

Your soft hand in mine, your eyes lit by the stars
With all that is ours we swoon under the moon

In a pile of soft leaves we lay in delight
Kisses in spotlight we're the stars of this moon

A sterling performance not a nuance rehearsed
In each other immersed, it's a true lover's moon

With pledges of love, caresses of signing
Our love is undying, witness the moon

by Bill, Wilfred Yeats, also known as Yoss, Yosserian and vagrant...who joined me here, when looking for a place to call home for our words...

I am, as many others are, holding you in my thoughts and prayers...your words are timeless and special, Bill.
