Sweet Memories of You

I found this message

In a bottle

Lost on the Sands of time

 

I dont remember putting it there

Or casting it upon the Sea

I thought I trapped those words

Written  deep in the heart

That beats inside me

 

But here I stand

These words I felt

On this scroll

quilled so gently

Staring back at me

 

Reminding me of a time

When we stood on a beach

On a night long ago

You were mine

Listening

Our hearts beat

 

I would have bottled your essence

I would have stopped time

I would have sat on that beach

When you were mine

 

Had I known what was to come

That you'd be gone

And I'd move on

In the world

Alone

For so long

 

I haven't looked upon the ocean blue

Not once since that night

I love the surf

All the smells

The sunrise

Oh how nice

 

To look upon the deep blue sea

And swim the waters once more

I would love to feel its salty embrace

And the suns blanket just once more

 

That ocean now a distant dream

Meandering through my day

Remembering that night

With you the future seemed far away

 

That last night

In our paradise

What more could I ask

One more night with you

Our future now our past

 

So as I pick up this concerto

Of what I thought to be

The musings of another

I find you staring back at me

 

Reminders so vivid

of days long past

dreams left unslept

breathless moments without air

but when this musing is over

I'll give you back to the sea

 

Who

 for one

           sweet

                           moment

 

Gave you

 back

 to

        me.

This is a great love poem with great sharing of two people's love for on another and their interplay with their affections. This piece has great flow and weaves to and fro jabbing in the desire that is so needed to make such a heartfelt work. Great poem!!!

A very nice love poem, it felt for me as a rollercoaster of bliss where you never want to stap out... such a good flow, and delightful! thank you my friend.

The sound of many lives breaking on the shores as we sit on sea walls at 3AM... watching and watching the emptiness inside.

A taste of wishing...

Thank you to everyone who reviews this and who has reviewed this. I love this piece dearly, for many reasons. I don't make it back to this often. It is one of those that would open if I licked my wound too often!
As always I am very appreciative of your feedback!!
