The Lamppost

The moonlight cast upon the street
A shadow there forever sketched
And footprints carved of lovers’ feet,
Where in the dawn a sigh was etched

The phrase of love is softly scrolled
Upon the page of passing wind
Unspoken words, that didn’t unfold
Engraved forever deep within

She wandered back through lamplight’s gown
In shadows of remembered bliss
Embossed upon the lamppost found
Impressions of a lasting kiss

Ah Lizzie...I see a soft snowfall in this, the left-behind footprints of two under the lamplight...very soft, very beautiful, and haunting...

Lovely!

There is more depth to the heart than the mind can comprehend and it only has boundaries when we choose to fence it in.

LizzieLady~
You're sure turning out some beautiful poetry~

'She wandered back through lamplight’s gown
In shadows of remembered bliss
Embossed upon the lamppost found

I was reminded of an old love story I read~
I enjoy reading you better~
