Wish I Was

Wish I Was

A Poem by BL

Wish I was the breeze
Floating by
Gliding over land and sea
Free and easy
Seeing you there
I would kiss your face

Wish I was an Eagle
On warm golden air
An overlord of bronze
With all seeing eyes
I would swoop down
And take you to the clouds

Wish I was the ocean
With power all around
Ever fresh and surging
Forever at your shores
Trying to reach you and
Dying on your beaches

I like how you use the imagery of the wind, an eagle, and the ocean to express love for a special person. I hope the ending lines don't indicate a sad ending to the romance.

The power to be truly free as nature is and to love. If only. An enjoyable piece.

You do the natural world right in this poem, with this metaphor; it's very well done. In today's modern civilization it's easy to forget that we are as much a part of that world as all the ocean's, it's beaches, all the birds in the sky, all the germs in the air and all animals on the ground.

A lovely poetic expression of love Leigh. Your way of taking three metaphors gives it a structure which is easy to follow but very effective.
