It’s Quadrille Monday over at the dVerse Poet’s Pub and the writing prompt is the word harbor.
Harbor lights in the moonlight,
walking the shore with a rainbow
just out of reach,
Champagne for no other reason
than celebrating each other,
the way your blue-velvet eyes
seemed to glitter when you smiled—
these are the things I miss
most of all.
For some reason your sense of place was so strong I could hear fog horns and the chugging of tugs, and the lapping of the bay against the dock; good on you.

Ah….the harbor….the water….the lights….and the memories that walk along with oneself…the missing of you.
So well done.
Glad you posted to the prompt!

So sad it had to be past tense…. some things should just stay as they are.

I so agree, Bjorn! Sometimes it seems like only the good things change and the bad stuff hovers forever.
