LOVE'S COVE

 
I sat on the banks of sorrow 
Hoping someone would finally come
Walked the sands of unknown tomorrows 
Under the heat of a lonely sun

Lost in my trepidation 
Mental seagulls sang of loves end 
Tears fell like rain 
As I recalled old fair weather friends 

From the beach of dashed dreams 
I looked out on the ocean of hope 
I sailed a message in a bottle 
Praying someone would find my note 

I saw a ship bearing your love 
Navigating my coast of utter despair 
Guided by my flickering light 
You found your way into my care 

At the port call of destiny 
We joined hands and became one 
Left the beach for the land of promise 
Hand and hand; our new lives have begun

Thank you for this review. I wanted this poem to walk you through the trials of loneliness. I am so happy you connected with this poem. You honor me and I thank you for that.

I know this way too good ;) and a true poet, or writer, should walk now and then the lonely road to have the most true heartfelt art, so welcome friend, your words deserve my review, and I shall come back for more of you. Subscribed ;) xo
