Unwritten

 

Give me warmth in a close and quiet port with a song unwritten
So when the wind unveils her pride I will not know
I will dive headfirst into uncharted waters
Write the words to the song
With my harp of gold

Send me a reason to leave my warm and quiet port with you
So when the wind unveils her pride I will stay warm
We will dive headfirst into uncharted waters
With a new song unwritten
In both our arms

Promise me I will not long for the song unwritten I wrote alone
When I leave my warm and quiet port to write for you
Then I will dive headfirst into uncharted waters
Write the words to a new unwritten song
You can sing too

Our song will hold a thousand nights of memories of bliss
To keep us warm when the wind unveils her pride
We will sing each word together in harmony
While we dive headfirst into waters
With our warmth inside
 

Reviews

[FJ Davis]

There is a part of the writer's heart that no lover will ever know, ever appreciate, ever share--often, even if that lover is also a writer.
And what of the lover's life, how much will a writer really be able to truly involve him or her self in that? We want our mates to value and be part of what we do, but what we do is frequently all-consuming. Even if we manage every sincere intention to be wholeheartedly devoted to another, ultimately, there is only one lover whom we always desire and to whose arms we inevitably run--it is that constant communication with our own souls; endeavoring to clearer and clearer express what we have inside.
Sorry, Neva, but the sweet longing inherent in your thought-provoking poem brought these words to my mind.
Love the poem.

This truly stunned me, like I paused for a moment in silence to savor
every words after the first read then after the second read it was like
I was in a suspense disbelief.

I like these words.."Promise me I will not long for the song unwritten I wrote alone
When I leave my warm and quiet port to write for you"--well said about concern in revealing emotions and putting into words.. I like a lot!

So does love goes, one must close their eyes and jump headfirst into it, with full committment and without the knowledge of the future if it will work out. Takes trust in oneself and in the unknown to be so brave. This is romantic to me, loved it.
