I lie abed alone at night and see with only dreaming eye.
Through panes, the moon casts silver trace,
And shadows form my lover’s face,
Beside me now my lover lies.
With tender word and warm caress, my love and I make song.
Our spirits, souls and bodies twine,
I reach to touch this lover mine,
To whom my heart belongs.
Outside the moon is bright and clear; a velvet night and deep.
Though beside me empty sheets I find,
A warm embrace around me twines,
And my love and I shall sleep.
Buy me a coffee?
Beautiful music and deep feelings, I love it ! I’m not sure if I prefer your prose or your verses, but I surely enjoy both of them !
Thanks a lot and continue writing and sharing with us !
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’ll share some more of my poetry in the not-too-distant future 🙂
Thank you for the lovely poem. I have been on my own for many years and that poem went straight to my heart. Thank you once again.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you 🙂
AAAh! Sigh! Beautiful Simone! ♥️
Love your poetry!!! Brings to mind when he traveled 3 weeks out of every month. Now retired happily!!!
As a matter of fact, that was almost exactly my circumstances. I’d see him for a long weekend each month. Glad you enjoyed the poem.
Absolutely beautiful. Hits the old heartstrings and is sad but still beautiful. Makes me think of my 20 year marriage that ended in divorce (not my choice). After 20 years it’s very difficult sleeping alone.
Yes, when I was first divorced, I had a couple of very difficult years while I ‘learned to be single’. I got there, and was then spent 12 years as a single woman before I met Him.
That is beautiful and poignant. Anyone who has ever had to live apart will totally understand this. Thanks for sharing.💕💕
Yes, that’s when I wrote it; before we could be together. 🙂
Love it!
Thank you 🙂
Just lost my husband. This hits home. Thank you.
So sorry to hear that. I hope my words help
Simone xx
Such beautiful prose. I will send this to my man in Afghanistan if you don’t mind.
Thank you. More please.
By all means send it if you think he will enjoy it. And yes, I’ll post more of my poems 🙂
I worked the graveyard shift at Ft Lewis for 11 years
My husband worked days….and traveled
Your beautiful soulful poem reminded me of
My own dreams and my husbands dreams while
We could not be together. Thank you
We are retired now and happily together
Yes, for me it was the time before He and I could be together 🙂
Beautiful and romantic.
Makes me think of a song about lovers separated by distance looking at the same moon
What a lovely image. I may have to write that idea in somewhere 🙂
I believe that I have mentioned before that this is my favourite of your poems. It’s sweet and easily understood which made me enjoy it so much more.
Thank you. I don’t recall you mentioning that, but it’s one of my own favourites too 🙂
That’s beautiful. The mind is a wonderful thing when we can conjure up the ones we love and miss by just thinking about them.
I’d not thought of it that way, but yes you’re right. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
