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....

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 poem is beautiful. Pure emotion, a celebration of life's grandeur, an understanding and appreciation of its cycles, and the acceptance of an obligatory farewell.

Hi JD,
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my rhyming quatrain poem. I love your great impression about my words...This poem is about thoughts of my own death...
Yes, over 99 view..and, quite a few reviews...but feel it so strange that at least 850 viewers never reviewed.

Good morning Lisa , I didn’t know that sorry to hear that. It is a very beautiful touching poem, reaching out to let your partner know how much you love him now and forevermore .
Katrina

[Lisasview]

No, do not be sorry... I woke up one morning with these thoughts and wrote them down. And, they are good loving thoughts.

[Neville]

one good turn deserves another .. and this one is certainly worthy of my personal re-perusal ...
Neville .. about to tune his mandolin before setting off for the festival .. :)

[Lisasview]

Good morning Neville,
Oh I did not see that you had reviewed this one of mine before?? So glad you came back for a second look... I do appreciate it.

[Neville]

Neville feeling a little nervous & about to set off for the festival again having agreed yesterday to read some of his poems in the poetry tent

[Lisasview]

Oh my how wonderful..A festival with a poetry tent...
Of course you would be nervous... but that is probably really just covering up excitement.
I see you wrote this yesterday..so how did it go?

[Neville]

not too bad at all, thank you for asking ...
Neville, feeling glad its all over till next year

[Lisasview]

Good to hear Neville..

The mixture of soft words and the tang of reality like the line about the salty neck really make this work well. The whole package is beautiful with the font and the picture...and of course the wonderful words. Great work!

[Lisasview]

Hi there,
Delighted to know you enjoyed this...
Not sure if you know or not but my words are about my thoughts about my own death...
Thank you for reading and reviewing.it does mean a lot to me.

A bloody marvelous old style traditional lyric. From the opening line image of lying in lavender ablaze in the sun I was absolutely enchanted. First thought was of Yeats, but as you progress on it reminded me more of Lawrence.

[Lisasview]

Oh my goodness what an astounding review... Comparing me to the greats...
I am new to posting having kept my poems in a drawer for years. I have no education in writing poems or Sonnets.I had never read any poetry until recently....and, had no idea what a Sonnet was until dear Richard contacted me when I posted my first piece, 7 months ago, Hand~In~Hand ,and told me that it was actually a Sonnet, except for the ending lines... He asked if I might like his help finishing it. I of course said yes and I have been under his wing ever since. I have learned a lot..and I love it.
I wonder how you discovered me? And, hope you will find time to read more of mine.
Thank you again!!
Lisa

[Ken e Bujold]

All the more impressive for the short while you have been at it. As to how I found you and your poem, I'm new here, just joined and having posted my first poem I lingered a spell to check out the works of some other writers

[Lisasview]

That is so wonderful to hear Ken...
I am new to posting and that took some getting used to... But I have been writing since I was 10 years old...a very long time..

[Stuart Munro]

Great poem and art work , I like Kissing a salty neck , tho I’ve never had the pleasure , that’s life
I like remember my laughter in the ocean waves , nice line
Well done Lisa

[Lisasview]

Hi Stuart,
I am going back over all my poems to make sure I thanked everyone for reviewing my poems... I was sure I responded to your wonderful review. I clearly remember reading it... so strange. Anyway, thank you so much.

Hi Lisa,
I was excited at the prospect of reading your poem "Forevermore". I wasn't disappointed. Your writing is at once beautiful and technically amazing--filtered through the sands of experience. You write as though your abilities are at their reaching their peak. Like a forest at its climax.

Perry

[Lisasview]

Wow Perry, What an amazing review of my poem Forevermore. I wrote this early one morning when thinking of my own death and the words just flowed out of me.
To be excited about reading my poem inspires me to continue writing.
Thank you so much for reading and taking the time to review my poem. Your review is like a poem itself!!
