Melancholy Moon
~~~
The sky holds a tinctured air
And melancholy moon glows pale
Against the salted cheek in haste
No want to reveal in exhale
~~~
Breath blows a shiver of words
Found begging to be left unsaid
That rise in the heat unheard
And fall on a heart left dead
~~~
Within the moonlit music soft
The saddest of songs plays again
For finale falls on love so rare
In choked words gone unspoken
~~~
For here is where all words fail
Apologies of no use in the now
No matter our hopeful chosen course
We ended up right here, somehow
~~~
Commissioned here by artist’s hand
Goodbyes meant to look like this
No words are left for either to say
Just one haunting final kiss
~~~
And every night since that kiss
Still holds a moon so sadly pale
Missing love in tinctured air
No want to reveal in exhale
~~~
Brilliant, images painted clearly and wilfully by those precise words, perfectly placed. Fantastic poem my friend!
All the best,
F.
