I found the poem a romantic piece that expressed the feelings we go through when our love is not reachable, memories overtake our thoughts. It could be painfully sweet a feeling. Well done, dear Gypsy.

I can't catch my breath
as moonbeams press on my chest
my lips remember your kiss

No once else notices anything, but you are fully aware of it, and notice nothing else.

Such a poignantly penned waka/tanka poem that is so poignant and very well written, the sadness leaks from every fragment of the narrative, well done Gypsy, blessings Roy

Some wonderfully fresh imagery here, and particularly the moonbeams pressing "on my chest" which of course they don't in reality do, maybe, but when feeling wistfully blue, they most certainly can. :))

An excellent contribution to your club.

I find it very romantic. I am learning to write poetry, Haiku, Tana and a couple of others. I would very much like to add this to the list. Thank you for sharing an intensely emotional poem.

Breathtaking! Startling, fresh imagery--tangled in silence--Brilliant: can't catch breath--moonbeams press on chest. As always, an elegant piece in fine form.
