Love’s Illusion~ rev:71a

28 Apr

     

Yes, Love, I was born with the first waxing moon.

Bald, without a thought for a tea’s afternoon;

—we embraced, dancing in every crook and cranny of my mind,

only to find myself as no one, and finding no place there.

~~~~

Oh failing heart, why did you forgo me?

To enter space where I would thirst?

Then, drowned me in a sea of deserts bleached sand.

Perhaps, in the essence of  moonlight and sunlight

—I will find You, where their lights both meet, and see

 what I have never lost nor have ever found.

    Friendship never found…..Friendship is a rare jewel in the crown.You will never have more than one and that is miraculous in itself.

    “friendship… never found” that reads so lonely.

    The last one is really powerful. Sometimes indeed one thinks that there is a friendship that really never is! So sad when what one hoped would bloom never comes to fruition! I always enjoy your short glimpses of life really!

    Intriguing… when the sun forsakes us… life slips into eternal shadow.

    Each stanza is a poem in itself. The last one is my favorite. Lovely & poignant.

    A beautiful illusion, if ultimately sad.

    Your writing is so lyrical in this beautiful poem. Sigh. I love “in deserts bleached sand turned to brown” . Your closing lines are perfection. This poem pinged at my heart.

    Ah we are both enamored by moonlight in our poems….unrequited love can feel so elusive and sometimes with such hatred in the world it seems love and friendship are only a dream.
