In dreams that she shall wait for me

 

 

 

On misty banks of weathered shoreline,

deplete by oceans endless play

Of scattered seas in ageless voyage

and sunsets formed on borrowed bay

 

Horizons beckon with a daydream,

in distant lines on forward flow

To breezes captured always welcome

as if someone you once did know

 

A jetty sits in foam laced waters,

lapping cold against its skin

Within the sights it surely witnessed,

moon beamed patterns once again

 

This solitude of thoughts provoking,

a heartbeat dances on a wave

For memories we’ve long forgotten

and many which our heart hath saved

 

Now here I sit in meditation,

alone of nature’s melody

For this is where my love has spoken,

my woman of this dark night sea

 

This night and every there before me

brings a touch of love so kind

Beyond the washing waves of splendor

for but a voice to call her mine

 

And now I face this grand conclusion,

what’s meant to be is all I ask

For on the sun’s due north arrival

I stand a’ ready for the task

 

To send my love to her unending

far beyond this echoed plea

And pray to find her perfect whispers

in dreams that she shall wait for me

tsk tsk......a beautiful alluring caress across the mind......unforgettable lines.
I can only read in awe...as always...

The imagery here is unrivalled Will. For me it was here in Ireland in Lough Erne - for every reader it was their own beauty spot where whispers arrive to wash the jetty in love. Amazing work - masterful phrasing - I especially liked this
"This night and every there before me
brings a touch of love so kind..." - its so eloquent. I doff my cap to you Will

[willweb]

Thanks so much for the cap doffing my friend, I truly appreciate it. I loved the story you tell in your review, it sounds like a poem in the making to me.

[Cassie]

[Cryingkate]

I wish I had not read this.....
clicked on this link thinking it was another writer.
I must of clicked on what they commented on instead. (someone else's review.)

NO I would not of read this if I had known you wrote it.
I knew it was beautiful just by the title.
I would of known if I knew it was yours to run like hell away from it.
If only i was more careful and paid attention, I would still have my heart.
Now here I am , and all that I am and, am not. empty , helpless a woman with a stolen heart.

[willweb]

Wow, thank you so much Crying Kate for this fantastic review of my poem. I am happy you feel this way, though I am not near as good as most on here. Thank you again.

[Cryingkate]

Sorry, I can't talk much... I still have the police here. Yes ! They are still making out the report.
They seem to be having some technical issue about how and if they can do a stolen heart report. They are not sure if I should use the lost and found or write it up as Zombie on the loose. OR what agency to investigate Stolen Hearts.

I'll Keep you updated.....as I can

[The Black Warrior]

OH MY GOD....this is so romantic, what a girl would wish to hear...to wait for him ("the perfect man") though there is none LOL but this is amazingly beautiful.
I love your choice of words, you captured my attention with just the first line...Can you make it longer? hahahah Just kidding... you NAILED it Will.

AMAZING job here 100/100 my friend ;p

My favorite stanza why? I was living it when I read it lol

This night and every there before me

Beyond the washing waves of splendor
