Moody Morning Light

Lovers in the night.

They were just two ships passing in the night

beneath a sweet clementine moon;

 In sweet wafting of jasmine candlelight

they knew it would be over soon...

 

But he was gone...by the dawn,

of the moody morning light,

Seduced by the charms of destiny...

 

 

 

He was the gypsy in the breeze,

and he was born to be free,

within the gales and sails

of the vagabond wind;

Free as a seagull upon a vessels brim...

 

They were just two ships passing in the night;

He was gone, by the moody morning light.

[Onyia-Ali, Kingsley Chu..]

Wow!, this is good. I appreciate the pair of end rhyme use, it hold the poem together in its muscality. the metaphor use is good and the laguage captures the readers attention although not too simple to an average reader. Well done SyberRose.

Your poems have such a soft beauty to them. It makes them a pleasure to read...not forced just smooth and flowing. :-)

Sweetly sentimental - love the "he was a gypsy in the breeze". That could be set to music!
