Poem -
I Wonder...
I spied two stars in the skies tonight
bathed in twilight's cerulean hue.
One shone strong, glowing vibrant and bright,
the other dim – and I thought of you.
I spotted two swans, nuzzling close
in the pond near our favorite park.
I envied their devotion the most,
'twas a time we possessed such a spark.
High on a hill, bathed in pale moonlight
in our favorite, old hideaway place.
I wondered if you're doing all right —
as my arms ached to feel your embrace.
Life's circumstances altered our hearts,
still, it's you who I'll always adore.
I wonder how we drifted apart —
one star shines where there were two before.

I can't comment on this. I'm too uncomfortable with feelings. So...can I just say that it made me have them and leave it at that?
'Nuff said...
Thanks.

Hey PROFESSOR!!...... that final line is a killer!!.... absolutely went like an arrow straight through me...... the comments from Tina I'm in complete agreement with..... you've got serious skills bro!!......ALL STARS!!......VERY moving!!......T xo ???✴❤
You humble me with your comments, Tony.
I'm glad you enjoyed the poem as I rarely write anything quite this personal.
It's very difficult for me.
I have found monsters and things that go "bump in the night" to be far less terrifying than matters of the heart.
Thanks so much again,

Hey, Dean, this is a wonderful read, elegant reflective intelligent with such grace and organic simplicity in the tone, your rhymes are seamless and promote flow, felt the longing, really well done; not sickly sweet, I like this a lot, peace and love

It's probably because this one was wrenched directly from the heart, Christopher.
I rarely write of matters of the heart, love or romance.
I have very little use for such things now.
But there was a time when I had a great love in my life--my wife of 22 years.
I worshiped the ground that woman walked on and she knew it. That's why I was surprised she was able to walk away from our marriage so easily.
Anyhow, enough about that. No use crying over spilled milk; it is what it is.
Thanks again for reading and commenting.
I do appreciate it.

Absolutely great work
Thanks, Greg.
I rarely write romantic poetry so your comments are very encouraging.
Take care and have a fantastic weekend.

Hi Dean, excellent poem. So very different from your usual style. Having read the above comments I can see why. I hope someday you find someone else and you will be able to love again. I bet this comment sounds strange coming from someone such as myself lol.
Take care - Syd
You're a good guy, Syd, and you have a big heart.
I can tell.
So, no, your comments don't surprise me.
You're right, it is far different from my usual poetic fare. I'm not even sure what compelled me to write it.
But, write it, I did, and I appreciate you taking the time to read & comment.
Much obliged.
~Dean :)
