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…

This is beautiful. This gave me goosebumps and put a smile on my face. Short and sweet while eliminating the scary cloud over death. I found this flowed nicely and most definitely gave me something to model after as I'm new to the poetry game. Although new to writing but am a long time admirer and reader of the art. Thank you for sharing your work. Much love.

I am quite new to posting but I have been writing for many, many years. I hid my work until last year.
I am so glad to have your review dear Sage and I will add you to my Friends...
Thank you for reading and reviewing.
You might like to read my poem Innocence... quite different from anything I have ever written. This one is full of metaphors.. if you read read may I suggest that you read my comments and the reviews on my work. This will help you understand the meaning..
All my best..

What a beautiful piece of writing.It's a topic I seem to connect with as it is the center of many poems. I am amazed, in awe, and just blown away that people with the credientials you all have, are on here, and reading a newcomer like myself, its very humbling and I appreciate you very much

[Lisasview]

Well, my very new friend... I have zero credentials!!
I only started posting my words one year ago... I have been writing for many years but hid my work..
Good for you for joining in...it is such a great way to get true feed back.

Fascinating ability to work with the 10 syllables, within the quatrains and couplet rhyming. I had to read this one again :)

[Lisasview]

Thank you again for reading my words... This one is about thought of my death...

Yes, sobering words. To wake up thinking about it, wow- that is a spent day in the morning. But this poem shows its worth the price

[Pete]

such beautiful sentiment and imagery - very reassuring. all is right no matter. could not help but smile as i read. impressive format and accompanying pic. all very tenderly assembled. not a bad way to start my day ... :)

Hi Pete,
And what a very nice way to end my day...reading your wonderful review...
Delighted you liked my words... writing about my own death may have seemed strange to many that read this...
Lisa, going for some red wine..

[Scott Kris]

I felt a gratitude for life and acceptance of death… the “circle” gently closing.

It was a soft and gentle floating read. Thank you for the creation and for sharing your work.

Hi there Scott,
I really appreciate that you took the time to read this one. This is about my own death...strange, yes...but that is what I felt when I wrote it..

A breathtakingly beautiful poem, dear Lisa!
I marvel at how efforlessly every line melts into the other with sheer imagery.
Your words gently whisper, caress your reader and they never want the magic to stop.
The message is equally beautiful and I strongly believe in soul mates and love beyond life.
The artwork used and the presentation of the poem on the page is exquisite.
Kudos!

Love is an eternal concept. For love to end because our form transforms is illogical. This is a beautiful poem with a beautiful message.

[Lisasview]

Hi Soren,
Going over all my reviews to make sure I thanked everyone and I found one from you a year ago!!! So, I am thank you you now for your insightful review...

An absolutely beautiful poem of love. This was smooth and carried its own melody. Wonderfully written.

[Lisasview]

Hello Willweb,
I believe this is the first poem of mine you have commented on...and, I do so appreciate it that you took the time to leave such a wonderful review. This poem is thoughts about my own death....
You might like some of my others..like Miles Apart or the first sonnet I ever posted Hand~In~Hand.
