~ 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.

Enchanting expressions. How do you write so often in words like silk on the page?

[Woody]

soft as silk, light as a feather, your words sound like the melodious call of a siren minus the danger of entrapment. always such a great pleasure to read you Jewel. shine on!

[Einstein Noodle]

so enchanting ... brilliant says i! .. such a fine weave of love, longing, hints of sailors lost to sirens calls .. i impressed with your strong sense of rhyme and rhythm always but this one the mix of staggered lines like free verse doesn't take a way at all from the flow and cadence of this one .. tho this is from a womans perspective ... makes me want to rest my weary head on those breasts ..

Another beautiful poem filled with desires, those found in our dreams as we wish for them to come true. Lovely Julie.

Your words settle across the pages like fine silk. They whisper and rustle in abject beauty, and when high emotion begins to ebb, hope remains. It was wonderful to get lost in your words.
