Caught in the fog of
confusion wondering is
it all an illusion
The lavender haze imbues
the eyes like a glaze, as it
makes me wonder if a
spell I'm under
It fades into the mist
like a whispery kiss of
an affair that wasn't
there~
Almost as if the bed was
covered with ethereal
figures that had fled
into the purple prose
of the dead~
Foggy figures reach out
for me ,but its only the
branches of trees ,that
make me weak in the
knees~
Thou didst flee my love
so silent, you stole away
like a serpent, leaving no
trail that anyone could
tail~
The dappled grey dew of
you saturates the cloudy
day, leaving damp wishes
to play with empty words
along the way~
~etw~
love and peace to you...

Quality!
The imagery in this is amazing Eileen. It's almost as though one could reach out and touch it.

Sad and painful but an excellent write. That picture is eerily beautiful.
well said.

I'm sorry I haven't been reviewing your work. My reviews have been sporadic at best. My only excuse has been the limited time I've had to spend online. It's great to read you again though because your writing is always an inspiration to me. This poem speaks to me of longing and pain - something I've experienced at those times when I'm apart from Edwin. Fortunately, I know that the times we spend apart are temporary. If this poem is written from personal experience, it sounds to me like you don't have that same hope. I pray that this changes.
Take care

This is exquisitely done with the touch of a Rennaisance Master, deft touches of deep emotion and longing pour over on to the page
in delicious form
You have a way with words master craftswoman !
