Sultry whispers
ride the soft breeze
The sun longingly paints the sky
A Love letter
to his lost soul mate
the majestic moon.
who looks earthbound as
a well dressed man
taking a leisurely stroll
through the park
sees face from his distant past
eyes meet
memories flood their
confused minds
flames that that once burned
now smolder
Time stands in anticipation
as they stand motionless
impatiently waiting
to see whom would make
the first move.
"Honey, its time.. to go."
breaks the moment
faces red
turns to see his wife
staring back at him
from his waiting car.
no words are spoken
he can see from her tears
that she knows
awkward drive home
many restless nights since
He has tried to move on
but her face
haunts him like a spectre
robbing him of peace
and sanity
He has returned many times
but she never has
confused he sits on an old park bench
and listens painfully
as sultry whispers
ride the soft breeze
and watches the sun go down
on this cold November eve.

Great, I've just seen one of those deep red sunsets yesterday evening on a cold November day.  Later it turned golden.  Surely a difficult sight to leave behind...

This isn't to be taken as a negative comment about your previous works...but your recent move seems to have unleashed some really fine poetry from your muse's pen.
An enjoyable read, Dan.
