Dear Jenn

Just words

                                 Dear Jenn


---
She loved the sage.
She loved the sea .
She loved the ancient poets and '
I loved her.

---

Her wanting skin and
her perfect face left me breathless.
Her laced words.
Left her empty and alone.
And me, just a fan of a wild storm that would not know peace.

----

Her heart was broken pieces of despair and regret.
She cursed the want of love.
Her subtle heart yearn for quiet and peace.
In the deepness of the long and lonely night.
She wished love was true and the words spoken once were meaningful.

John,
That song by Dave Loggins is one of my all time favorites, one I learned and have played on the guitar and sang many times. It is, also, an apt fit for this beautiful poem's ambiance of longing and seeking to settle in peace within her soul, a place where love dwells, soothes, and embraces her pain away.
A very plaintive piece from your skilled pen, My Friend … one that touched deep and left me longing, too; and, certainly, more appreciative than ever of your excellently creative skills.
Really dig the presentation layout, too!

Thanks, John, you never disappoint! ⁓ Richard : )

hard to let go of old pain, it just keeps washing upon the shore...and keeps us from peace.
especially like "just a fan of a wild storm that would not know peace"

great line, Coyote..

Thank you Jacob. I appreciate the comment. Old lost love are hard to forget.

The second stanza is mystifying in its wording and I loved it. It's a beautiful poem about the longing of Love and the pain that it can sometimes inflict upon us.

There are a few punctuation errors and such. I would advise you to take a minute and edit it just a tiny bit and it would be slightly better. But these are your words and this poem is still great despite my "constructive" criticism.

All in all, it was very sweet and enjoyable to read.
Another good poem you most certainly have here, Trickster. :)
