Image: Henry and Adele by Judith Clay.
Moon sighed in sorrowed silence,
adrift on deepening shades,
where doves lament the passing;
and lilting notes are made.
Fluted furrowed feelings rose,
blown through tears of grace,
twixt rivered wash of grievings;
the lilt of love debased.
Mellifluous the music wound,
as watered realms did wind,
and Henry dreamt into the night;
Adele long lost in time.

ReplyDeletethis has such a comforting rhythm to it - almost like a song itself
ReplyDeleteJust gorgeous, love the lyrical quality to it!
ReplyDeletethis sings so beautifully! Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis poetry sings. and I love those alliterations in this little sad piece of poor lonely Henry
ReplyDeleteAgree on the alliteration. It makes this piece flow nicely and tells a mirthful tale! Enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteThe melody of the poem suits Henry's mood and allows us into his heart..especially I like 'twixt rivered wash of grievings".
