Wish I Was

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

We and our countless wishes.. wish anyone of them came true.. beautiful imagery of desires and longings....

Great imagery B. Beautifully longing - love from a distance is so hard - we wish to be all things that might reach them so that we reach them.
The final line is heart-wrenching - I couldnt not think of D-Day - an invasion - willing to die for a greater cause.
I enjoyed this B - thank you for sharing. :)

I don't generally like romantic poems, but I like the simplicity and sincerity of this.

A surrealism quality with a strong fantasy influence, well done, thanks for sharing.

I love this poem; it is like a peaceful dream of wishes; calm and lovely, showing such sweet affections in the most descriptive use of words; the metaphors are light and wonderful. 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. Wow. Bravo B. Thank you. Dale

Very good description in the poem. I liked the use of repetition to establish your places and thoughts. The poem had a positive feel till the last line. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
