A LONGING DEEP

nephilim56 ( Norman Dickson)

The raindrops dance
On fallen leaves 
Which lost the will
On sorrowed dreams
The aching heart
Is hid from view
An untied bow
A love for you.

It is not lost
But somehow yet
It rides the breeze
Of memorys step
Its tenderness
Its sweetened kiss
A longing deep
Its soul to miss.

What now is vague
A ghostlike eye
To recollect
The pining sky
Somewhere far
Too faraway
In days that danced
Their time away.

    Our modern day grinds us down so much β€˜til the pining is scrubbed away, such a sad state of affairs.

        Norman this poem to me is melancholic and sadly wistful of a past loss yearned for love. It is most lovely in its writing and images and is a fave

      • Tristan Robert Lange

        Norman, what a beautiful reflective piece. The movement from loss to memory feels natural, and the imagery gives the poem a dreamlike quality without losing its emotional center. That final thought of days that "danced their time away" is a lovely way to leave the reader quietly reflecting. Beautiful work, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
