Once upon a moon, my dreams
were cast
mere whispers wafting through
silken skies
entrusted to her for
safekeeping
waiting on the moment you
would arrive.
All that she holds, most
sacred and true
dreams born of a yearning to unfold
blessed with moondust and
kissed by stars
cradled in her embrace to
wait out the years
Once upon a moon, you
came to me
all that we had was
all that we needed
and love was an earnest
innocence
wrapped in
crystalline dreams
In between breaths,
time ebbs and flows
capturing brilliance while
stealing moments
until it manages to fade
away
and in its absence
melancholy sings
Once upon a moon, I
believed a truth
that dreams entrusted
to the moon were eternal
spun in wistful
drifts and carried on the wind
resolute, even though
time is temperamental
That truth beckons,
through valleys of change
where we lost what we
had but not what we needed
celestial guidance brings
me to dawn
where I am reminded
that love is perpetual
Once upon a moon, my
dreams were cast
on shimmering display
through silken skies
entrusted to her for
safekeeping
she holds them still
for you.

This is my favorite of your new postings here. This felt as though it was written as a chapter in my life, in seven stanzas. Hence, I love it with all my heart.
ReplyDelete*smiles* Thanks, dollface. It is a favorite of mine as well. It took me all day and hours past midnight to write, but it is a love poem that had to be written.
DeleteLove you madly <3
It is a love point, of the highest order and greatest magnitude. <3
DeleteIt is a love point that likely will never be seen by its Muse; still, the moon will forever hold it in trust.
DeleteAnd you always say the nicest things :)
