One way love

Her little hand-scribbled notes

morphed, gradually

into love letters

After so many

"Wish you were heres"

and

"Missing yous"

An initial haphazard script

smoothed out into

a labor of love

Thoughts and ideas

undulating through

cursive brilliance

Just a pity - 

possibly,

that while my mail box was brimming

hers echoed

my empty

heart.

perfect title ..well said ...the bottle on the beach makes me think of sailors and all those loves left in distant harbors and romantic islands ;)
i relate to this volcano...as the one way lover and said those two lines oh so many times ... it is a miracle that we remain friends .. i think she must have about got sick hearing it from me ... so very hard to let go of that love and dream ...oh well ;) very clever closing sir ...

dear Sleepless... our thoughts drift on the ocean of dreams... love begotten but not forgotten... the edges of eternity will always be in our heart and soul. Beautiful poetry. truly, Pat

Mmm good that she did not send a letter in bottle it may take another 132 yrs to reach...
The poem is beautiful so is the bottle with the letter...

lol...didn't you know that I'm immortal? But I'm sure that the sea currents would have worked against me in any case...:)

You immortal...when did that happen... I was not invited for the ceremony... lol
I think the bottle would have sunk n gone to the deeper layers of sea and sea weeds would have grown on top of it... :p

Great! Actually the photo captured my eyes the most! But this piece is lively connected to it.

Was inspired by....wait for it......a news broadcast! They discovered the oldest message in a bottle off Australia's coast recently....130 years old!

Which age it was? let it be......
We should care today. No?
