Titian sunlight kissed her face, her music wooing the pristine moon.
She sings for the breeze, a letter to her love, miles apart that night;
Wishing she could visit, embrace him; oh, if only heaven was near.

Poetry & writing are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Ah, with your words heaven sure comes as near as possible Leo! So sweet, so dreamy. And the image is the perfect company for these few words from a heart!
@ Blaga,
Ah, thanks very much 🙂 Glad you felt the words both dreamy and sweet!
Enchanting picture & soothing words… 🙂
@ Rinaya,
I had to change the image, but glad you liked the words! 🙂
Simple and full of emotions. Classic. 🙂
@ Chhavi,
Yes, lot many of the emotions too! 🙂
Beautiful..and so much said in those words 🙂
@ Scribbling Gal,
Thanks! 🙂
If only Heaven was near!
I love the first line because of the contrast that you’ve presented.
@ Antara,
Thanks! 🙂 Glad you liked it!
Beautifully penned…
@ Eclipse,
Thanks! 🙂
**Sigh….How romantic and serene!
But a suggestion…I somewhat felt the picture didn’t go well with the lines…Just a thought!
The verses, as always, are mesmerizing!
@ Fiducia,
Yeah, I see the point 🙂 Or atleast I think I did. I changed the image associated with the poem. This one fits more better I think.
Glad you felt the verses romantic and serene 🙂
Very beautiful, Vinu.. the old image was also good, this is fine too. Both have a sense of longing attached I guess. You’re back to form I think..! 🙂
@ Suja,
Yeah, both had a nice sense to it I agree 🙂 Glad you felt I’m back to form..!
Many a time, I have felt the same thing but never figured out who the love was. 😛
@ Nethra,
Isn’t it about time you did? 😉
Ahhh…you just completely expressed what’s in my heart…:) Truly feeling a hopeless romantic… 🙂
Loved your verses, so short yet so sweet and full of longings!
@ Amity,
Your love is on a ship 🙂 It’ll sail home soon 😀 Glad you loved it!
Oh, lovely. Today is the first anniversary of my mom’s death, so this strikes me strongly. Thanks, Leo.
@ WyomingDiva,
My prayers with her, I hope she found her peace above. Thanks for dropping by!
ah you paint the scene beautiful…i can see her and hear her music, perhaps a bit mournful from being far from her love…nice one shot
@ Brian,
Thanks! It is quite mournful indeed!
I have been called insensitive at times but you restore visions of my youthful romantic past
Genebrother
@ Genebrother,
Many thanks! I hope no love of yours has gone above. The feeling would be quite painful to bear I think!

Succinct and heartbreakingly beautiful all the more for it. Unfortunately, I know this feeling all too well.

@ Tarunima,
Thanks for coming by too. I came by your post, and enjoyed it as well. 🙂
This is beautifully sad, even haunting. The image is perfect for this piece.
Words, especially ones spoken from love, can be the swetest music to the ear.
Very well done!
(Thanks for the nice comment over at my blog. Appreciate it.)
@ Andy,
My pleasure 🙂 I enjoyed your entry as well. Was utterly romantic!
Simple, short and sweet, yet filled beyond overspill with emotion, longing, beauty. The elegantly and eloquently done Leo.
The Lonely Recluse.
@ The Lonely Recluse,
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it 🙂
You paint such a picture with your words that it enhanced the already beautiful picture you posted. Great job!
@ Marlee,
Glad you felt so 🙂 Thanks! I enjoyed your take as well.
Beautiful!
@ Nicole,
Thanks! 🙂
Beautiful and filled with longing =)
@ Mindlovemisery,
Thanks! 🙂 I enjoyed your take for One Shot too.
somehow i can relate to the words.. yet they seem from a different era..
@ Paulami,
The era doesn’t change romance or a longing for someone who’s in heaven I think 🙂
that true 🙂
@ Paulami,
🙂
Lovely and romantic. 🙂
@ Ina,
The same can be said of your Rally poem too, it was beautiful indeed!
It was magical
@iBeingMe,
Thanks! 🙂
sigh…lovely.
@ Trumble,
Thanks! 🙂
Lovely poem. I went through and read several of your poems, and love the style of your writing and your lovely use of the written word. Wondering how to become a follower of your blog? (I did click on Send me site updates, am hoping that is how it works!)
@ Ginny,
Thanks for going through, and liking my style 🙂 I’ve replied to you at your blog. Thanks for the interest in becoming my follower 🙂
Very short, but, has a lot to say in those few lines. Enjoyed it very much, thank you !
@ Daydreamer,
Thanks! 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed yours as well.
Romantic words cross eras and space,
reminders meetings face to face,
Never do such words fail to touch,
For they are blank checks for loving much.
Well written poem.

Such an airy longing piece, fantastic delight to read!
@ AB Thomas,

What beauty in such few words–a haunting feeling with the sound of that violin.
@ Gayle,
Thanks! The haunting feel is something I wanted to bring out actually!
When I managed to take my eyes away from the picture, I realized the lines are as beautiful. Superb.
@ Deboshree,
Glad you found both picture and words alluring! 🙂

This is honey in words, smooth and sweet! If heaven is indeed a long way off, your words have brought it that much closer. Loved it!
@ Dan,

Oh so wonderfully loving and sentimental!

Nicely worded and simply, u expressed a lot with just a few phrases
@ Blaque,
Thanks! 🙂
The picture does your poem so much justice. I especially love ‘She sings for the breeze’ – wonderfully written.
@HalfwayBetweenTheGutter,
Thanks! 🙂 Glad you liked it.
Beauty, in your words of nature and water (emotion) your pristine moon is clear calling from a female heart!
Really liked the senses this evoked in one stanza!
Cindy
@ Cindy,
Thanks very much! 🙂
Beautifully touching piece Leo! ~ Rose
@ Rose,
Thanks! 🙂
When I was in the desert I would grasp a handful of sand close to my mouth as I spoke the words I was sending to my love; as I finished speaking I would release the grains letting the wind carry them to her. It was an amazing experience I forgot until now.
Beautiful writing; thank you for the reminder.
@ Woih,
Thanks! 🙂 Glad you could get some happy memories through my post.
Really enjoyed the way the image and your words coincided beautifully. I have difficulty, at times, to include brevity in my work. You did a wonderful job with that, saying so much in so few words. Thanks for sharing
@ Fred,
Thanks! Glad you liked it and stopped by to appreciate my humble words 🙂
Excellent Leo — so beautiful and flowing!
