A Dwelling by The Sea: Lack of stars...

Lack of stars...

Sunset leans into night,
signing it's name in blackness;
nothing prepared me
for the lack of moon and stars,
when hope held up each hour
waiting for a sense of you

My eyes close in a dream of us

long ago
It was real, and the ache
came back to me just now -
how could I have been so wrong?
I can't wait for the sunrise
to take you away again,
for the burning in my eyes
keeps me from seeing the road
I am traveling on now, tonight

FROM THE WRITER OF DOWN THE EYRIE ROAD
Originally, when I began this blog, I was 64 and opened

with the following lyrics from the Beatles' song:

When I get older losing my hair,

Many years from now,

Will you still be sending me a valentine

Birthday greetings bottle of wine?

If I'd been out till quarter to three,

would you lock the door,

Will you still need me, will you still feed me,

When I'm sixty-four.

Now 67, I hope to blog till I am 74 or 104.

Thank you followers & friends

Here it is 2018. This March I turn 71. It's time to revamp, weed out the worst and make a book of sorts containing the best of the blog. It consists of prose poetry and short stories; they are pieces of me that I have been able to share, with pleasure, with you...considering how energy often was channeled elsewhere, the blog has an average of 300 visitors monthly from around the world. Thank you for stopping by.
