It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poet’s Pub and the writing prompt is the word harbor.
Harbor lights in the moonlight,
walking the shore with a rainbow
just out of reach,
Champagne for no other reason
than celebrating each other,
the way your blue-velvet eyes
seemed to glitter when you smiled—
these are the things I miss
most of all.
So sad it had to be past tense…. some things should just stay as they are.
I so agree, Bjorn! Sometimes it seems like only the good things change and the bad stuff hovers forever.
This is so beautiful! I m reminded of that song “Careless Whisper” by George Michael ❤
Thank you, sanaarizvi. Much appreciated!
A rainbow just out or reach, brings a sense of sadness for me.
Yes, it does to me also. Thank you for stopping by!
Ah….the harbor….the water….the lights….and the memories that walk along with oneself…the missing of you.
So well done.
Glad you posted to the prompt!
Thank you, Lillian. So glad you enjoyed!
walking the shore with a rainbow – I would love to do that. following it like a memory’s trail
That’s beautiful: “following it like a memory’s trail.” Thank you singledust!
A lovely list poem. It works really well with the nostalgia
Thank you so much.
harbor lights, rainbow…definitely stirs memories of love missed
Thanks, Dorianna
I love the understated nostalgia of the list poem specially: walking the shore with a rainbow
just out of reach.
Thanks, Grace. So glad you enjoyed
Makes me think of an old song…I think. Very smooth.
Thank you, Alexander. And thanks for stopping by!
For some reason your sense of place was so strong I could hear fog horns and the chugging of tugs, and the lapping of the bay against the dock; good on you.
Thank you, Glenn! :-)
