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

The romantic longing in this poem is so powerful, Will. The sea has long been a place to be with one's thoughts....to dream of what might be and what could be. Two lovers, meant to be, separated by the rushing waves....seems almost cruel. Your captcha is hopefully not prophetic. Your poetry is super. Lydi**

Thanks Lydi, you always say that to me. :) Just kidding. Sometimes I feel like a walking captcha, most can read me but have no idea what I mean or why I am there. I do appreciate your kind words on my poem. Thank you so much again.

Oh wow Will this is speaking right to my sea soaked heart ... This is so beautiful .

"My woman of this dark night sea" lovely... And whoever this mermaid is she is a lucky one, for she couldn't have captured a truer heart than yours, my good friend. :)
