~ Unfulfilled ~

~ just a scribble ~

Rivers flow and oceans rise

we drift upon the tide

avoiding the waters deep

cautiously we glide

 

As waves crash and winds blow wild

drawn in by every breath

closer to you,

                                                            I cling,

                                                                      I ache

searching for tenderness

 

Twisting, turning, from my arms

I feel you slip away

drowning in your fantasy

I long to scream “stay”

 

A whisper, so soft to hear

is all that I can speak

sighs of love,

                                                                   of want,

                                                                             of need

perhaps the words are weak…

 

For you’ve heard the seabirds call

but I have seen the sky

and flown above heavens peak

on fragile wings I fly

 

Flawed…

                                                            yes,

                                                  as time goes on

but tides they glitter still

shallow pools of hopeless tears

                                                 icy the touch…

                                                                      the chill…

 

Lingers on

                                                              and when night falls

remember love confessed

left unfulfilled and yet

 

                I dream of happiness

I find so much truth to your words that go so far beyond the rhymes or the poem.
It takes pure emotion and deep feelings within your heart and soul to be able to write something
So profound, yet so beautiful.

This is another page of your incredible book of life
Spelled out through your incredible gift for poetry.

Simply lovely.

The romantic longing in this one is palpable, Julie. A true romantic keeps hope alive no matter what is thrown in his or her path. You have proven you are a true romantic time and again with your words. Beautifully written. Lydi**

another beautiful piece of poetry about longing, passion, love unrequited, but still dreamed of.

This is such a graceful remembrance as well as moving on because life goes on...such soft tinted dreams washed away and yet returned on the tide every now and then...gorgeous xo

Amazing use of words and emotion.
"Lingers on
and when night falls
remember love confessed
left unfulfilled and yet
I dream of happiness"
Those lingering memories. Keep us hoping for a second dance. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Oh Julie, I have missed reading you, this is simply divine and beautifully written! What a poem. Dreams hold many things and they can come true if we put our mind to it and believe.

Loved it!

Of course, it is poems like these that make it clear why unrequited love is the poet's bread and butter. Beautifully done.
