She flung open the grande balcony windows
the balmy night semingly added to her despair
tears fell softly down upon ivory cheeks
she no longer his love, his lady fair.

Sounds of hoof beats filled the air
on mounted stead he galloped away
pain flowed in flooding her soul
her heart cried, begging him to stay.

In reflection she looked over yon garden
where so oft' they walked hand in hand
it's beauty she could no longer see
this seeming to be a final reprimand.

The silver moon slid behind the clouds
the eve no longer illuminated by Lunas light
she sat down at the mahogany writing desk
but it was futile, for she could not write.

With delicate hand she turned back the quilt
of her favorite antique victorian bed
and she fluffed the lace trimmed pillows
then laid down to rest her weary head.

Her heart would not grant her the peace
praying dreams to come before the morrow
alas though, sleep was not meant to be
in this night full of loves sweet sorrow.

{From 10-20-01 reposted for those who have asked that since my mind refuses to work while on these medications that I repost some of my older work for others to enjoy until I can get back up to par. Thank you all for your continued thoughts as I muddle through the pain and therapy.Peace to poetry land.}

I know what it took
to even go look
for an old poem of piece
while in dis-ease...

So know we here
to rally and cheer
that you soon regain health,
be your old self...

in the meantime,
we've all got God's ear!

Donna, you selected a wonderful piece of your writing to grace us with while you are recovering from your accident. I thoroughly enjoyed this reading experience. Please find some more!

I continue to send up prayers for a full and speedy recovery, Dear One.

I have been missing your presence at Passions.

Donna,

Not sure we have "met", so.. hey!

This was a very beautiful, touching piece and I, for one, am glad you took the time to repost...

I hope you are feeling better soon.
