Her dark eyes sparkled
Revealing; understanding
But she was not mine
I love raven hair
And hers shone like ebony
I longed to touch it
Yes, she knew that too
Her tact and prudence a curse
She’s too wise by far
And in our farewell
She offered her cheek to me
Delightful embrace
If I could but sing
What ballad of love would prove
Her superb beauty?
But no voice let forth
Still, she’s ever in my mind
My perfect dreamscape
Wistful perfection without a tune, but your words lay out the rhythm and possibility. Very sweet and fine!

ReplyDeletebut you got connected! - this is why in your mind this unique dreamscape... :)x
ReplyDeleteSometimes perfection is best only admired and given a peck on the cheek. Once she is real, she will be messy and somewhat less than perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery well written and fits the prompt.
ReplyDeleteTrue loves are found mostly in dreamscapes true expressions -we sing in solitude
ReplyDeleteNice writing of a lover's longing, and rejection. I think we can all relate to your poem. We've all experienced (I think) infatuation with someone who does not respond.
ReplyDeleteloved your melody..
