Forevermore

Rhyming Quatrains with a Rhyming Couplet envoi poem regarding thoughts of death... Grateful to Richard for finding the perfect artwork for my poem and helping me along my journey writing poetry.

   

     Forevermore....

Lie me down on a bed of lavender;

naked, I will be in the blazing sun.

Upon death, to this earth I surrender …

for, my journey here with you is now done.

Remember my laughter in ocean's waves …

floating along with no care in the world.

As we hid inside of deep dark sea caves,

our eyes met softly, as blue waters swirled.

Kissing your salty neck, I held on tight

with loving thoughts....I drift to you again,

watching day's sun disappear into night,

knowing our true love's depth would never wane.

Beyond life, to your open arms I soar;

our souls entwine now ~ and forevermore....

One of your finest works, Lisa🍷

Whoever said sadness and death have no beauty, never read this.
It was great working together with you in formulating this creatively gorgeous piece.

Many memorable blessings shared … thank you always, Ma'am! ⁓ Richard🖌

Hi Richard,
Great to get a review from you. This is one of my most favorite poems I have written.
Of course I have been thinking of you….and even more in the past couple of days.
My plan was to message you… and, and I will…

Romance writ so well. I like this a lot. The language and the wording brings me calm. And dare I say it memories.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much Ken for reading and reviewing my poem. It is for sure the most read of all my work. (I keep a book of the names of every person that leaves a review of my poems..) Probably bit obsessive but I do enjoy looking and seeing which are popular and which are not.
This poem is actually about thoughts of my own death....

You write the form poetry so precisely...wonderful. The meter and the words you choose to convey both love and loss flow so easily and the rhyming is not forced. Very enjoyable. I see you like to post an image with your poetry too. Lydi**

Thank you so much for your very kind review... This one was written about my own death... My thoughts about it...
Glad you enjoyed it...

Like a rhyming crossword puzzle, but much more intricate in that it holds such emotion, this poem shows how much work you put into it. I like that you chose lavender as the color of the print. It flows like honey.

[Lisasview]

Thank you dear Soren ...I love your review!
I too love the colors.. I chose these to represent my poem.

Good evening, Lisasview,
A parting of a love,
A love,
A kiss, so hard to imagine a kiss,
A bed of death, of lavender,
Love it, honey,
great write!

most welcome Dear,

[Tom Alexander]

Oh, this is beautiful Lisa, thank you for pointing me towards it. This is right up my street. Magnifying those small but meaningful moments and looking at them in terms of as a life taken as a whole... Bravo!

[Lisasview]

I am delighted to know that my poem is right up your street.
I write all sorts of things..People I know, sort of know or do not know...I write from on spectrum to the other...
I see you asked to be my friend..ofcourse!!

Your phrasing, the meter and use of language sets this poem way, way above scribbles like my . More importantly, perhaps, the content seems one of placid acceptance, of feeling that time has near enough given you the life that life is, night and day, kaleidoscopic perhaps.. and that fact understood. Now the time is coming when those gone will dance and sing with you again, those left will remember those you can still dream about. The end is only a new beginning. Admittedly, my sentiments but you have laid them beautifully.

[Lisasview]

Wow, Dearest Emmajoy, what an amazing review. Gave me chills!!
Every word you wrote is what I was feeling when I wrote this... With thoughts of my own death.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my words!

Now and again I read into the core of a poem, sense emotion, past perhaps.. it's the way a post is worded, perhaps less rather than more guarden than might be. You touch a nerve too... as happens. More than:
'I drift to you again,
watching day's sun disappear into night,
knowing.. '

[Lisasview]

You know what EmmaJoy!
Your review is very much like a poem itself!! You say your words are scribbles but again... just look how beautiful your sweet words are in the review you left for me...
Lisa

[emmajoygreen]

I can only try but even so, Lisa, your words really are beautiful.

[emmajoygreen]

should read ' guarded', not guarden.. forgive. x

[Lisasview]

What?? where is that?

[Tom]

Stellar writing here in fine, poetic form, yes indeed, physical death not the end, rather a spiritual transition to a higher calling where previous loved ones have gone before and await to greet and renew aquaintance once more here in eternal bliss..

Beautiful, candid poem, stir the emotions in a pleasant way!

[Lisasview]

Hi Tom, This poem was written with thoughts of my own death...
Wow, using words like stellar regarding my little poem is unreal!!
Thank you so so much,
Lisa

I hate to label this, but I can't help but think of your poem as a beautiful suicide note. She knows death is at hand, seems ready for it, maybe even welcomes it. Hopefully she is accepting of a natural death not intentional. Nice rhyme with world. It's one of the hardest words to find rhymes for, but so want to use it. I reacted with emotion when I read it. Means it's a good poem to me!

[Lisasview]

Hi Michael,
No not suicide...This poem is in regards to my own death...
Accepting it...as you say.
Yes, finding words to rhyme with certain words is often difficult.
Glad you liked my poem. Bringing the reader to emotion is always my intent.
Have you read my newest poem..Ballad? AWAKEN
I think you might like it..
I do so appreciate your kind review,

What a sincere expression you penned! I often equate waves with motion in expression too. I have an obsession with waves of all kinds sound and light particles and colors so much can be reduced to and inflected by WAVES:) nice reminder for me to remember my waves!

[Lisasview]

Hi Robert,
This is so strange as I do remember responding to your thoughtful review yesterday, but today my response is not there? I am an artist and I have always lived by the ocean and now the sea. The water and its sound, colors and light really appeal to me.
Thank you for taking the time to read my work and to review it.
Lisa, now in Spain

this site can be a bit clanky I tried to change my picture yesterday and now I'm a tree

[Lisasview]

Oh yes, I am often a tree...so weird..
