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🖌

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…

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

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 .

[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]

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

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?

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!
