She loved living with the wind Her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds The wind took her by the hand and she followed Like a kite not meant to be earthbound She bestowed her love with abandon but her attentions were brief For the wind would call to her Yet, like a fragrance you can't quite name... for a few, she lingered For those, she left longing in the night never to be forgotten And those few whispered her name Seeking the girl living with the wind Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson *Inspired by the poem by Charles Lindholm "She Had a Gypsy Heart"

He Waits For Shooting Stars
Reprised-Eternally Bound
The moon whispers
his secrets
only to the sea
the sea rushes
to him
faint with passion
surging against the shore
reaching for her love
the moon blushes darker
swollen with desire
these lovers
distant lovers
each
never to caress
the other
yet
eternally bound

*This is an older piece of mine that I came across and
decided to reprise it. It's one I've always really
liked. The idea of the moon and the sea in love with
each other but never being able to touch.
When Dreams End

*By Penny Wilson And Charles Robert Lindholm Deep asleep and dreaming The vision of your face Came to me last night With sweet lips smiling and your eyes sparkling You came to hold my hand and walk with me down memory lane I felt your touch and saw our love I can't wait until the dreams end and we can be together again Dancing with the angels where we have a never ending future to share Copyright © 2021 Penny Wilson And Charles Robert Lindholm All Rights Reserved – 05-26-2021 *My Dear Friend, Chuck over at The Reluctant Poet collaborated with me on
this poem. We bounced the piece back & forth via emails until we came up with
what you see here. It was a joy to work with Chuck. I hope you enjoy our
endeavor and that you will take a moment and visit Chuck's blog too!
Another Dream
I awake
from another
dream and you were right here I touched you I know I did I come back to myself
as your scent lingers I close my eyes an attempt to hold you to recall your last caress I ache for your touch it's no use you’re not here leave my heart be stay out of my dreams Damn you

Telling My Secrets to the Stars

I awoke
with a start.
The taste
of your kiss
still lingering
on my lips.
For answers
I look
to the night sky,
telling my secrets
to the stars.
The man in the moon
listens
but offers
no guidance.

To Break the Fall
Dreaming
Empty Words
Secret
That fleeting moment, forever frozen in time. Your eyes held me prisoner. I would have gladly surrendered. Joyfully longingly fall into those clear cool pools. Would you welcome such a secret? Copyright (C) 2021 Penny Wilson Image by press 👍 and ⭐ from Pixabay
