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…

I absolutely adore your writing within this piece, Lisa from Spain, I was enthralled, but please put it in black on white , I truly feel it would add to the gravity of it, wouldn’t change your words of course though , wonderful as they are,

Lathen

[Lisasview]

Good morning Lathen,
I am so delighted that you adore my poem.
Your thoughts about the gravity of the poem being in black and white is interesting and I will think about it. My trademark if one calls it that, is an image in color with all my poems... but as I said I will consider your advice.
Thank you, Lisa, now early morning in Spain

[roarke]

Ah, in a word beautiful. The meter and rhyme very natural and fitting. The second stanza is my favorite.

[Lisasview]

Funny, I just responded to your response on your poem, and gave you a few poems I wrote that I thought you might like to look at and now I see that you have read Forevermore... Thank you so much for your read and review...I so appreciate it.

An endearing piece, full of want, and yet, the security of finding true contentment in another. Love is an incredible thing. This piece will surely stand the test of time, as the title suggests. Well done!

A beautiful write Lisa, and what more relaxing way to leave this world behind than to lay on a bed of lavender.

Hi there, My husband Bob wasn't my first love...But he is the one that I strongly believe has been with me here before, and that we are of the land and, will be of the land together again, always.
Lisa, back to working on my new poem

[Temperance]

You truly have found your soulmate!

[Lisasview]

That is for sure and believe me I have been through quite a few...

Dear Lisa. I loved the complete poem.
"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."
The above lines took me back to dancing with the Pacific. Good company, the sea and a warm day. Utopia. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

[Coyote Poetry]

Hello dear Lisa. I love to hear the piano. Can I hear you play on YouTube. Violin and the piano. Takes me away to better places. I hope you are doing well and enjoying the days of June.

a beautiful sonnet of a love, and such soft, yet colorful memories of a love, now gone, but never forgotten. These are very special moments you mention and this could be in any form and the words would still pop out. "as we hid inside of deep dark sea caves".... brings mysterious thoughts to mind...and the colors "Lie me down on a bed of lavender"... really loved his.....
Best, B

[Lisasview]

Good morning Betty,
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review my poem.
Yes, love...never forgotten.
As, I am getting older thinking of death seems to be with me.. As I ponder I feel certain that I will be back
and be of this land again with my husband..Many might think these are morbid thoughts but for me they are not... Just makes each day even more precious.
Lisa, morning in Spain

Your Art and soft Embrace of forever love is a moving Symphony of Heavens Dreams where Mermaids 🧜‍♀️ lie among the Coral Reef of Love Spent .. There may be a Special Heaven in Oceans Deep …. Pat

[Lisasview]

Thank you Pat for your kind review.
Hoping you and your husband are doing well.
Happy Sunday, Lisa in Spain

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Lisa… it is a beautiful Sunny day here in Fredericksburg, Virginia in the USA.. We live by the Rappahannock River that keeps us Calm and Serene… where Birds preen and Eagles nest.. We are safe and well on a wish and prayer. Roger has his new fistula in his left arm… we are waiting for it to mature. Meanwhile he has a Catheter in his neck for dialysis three days a week. Blessings to you always, Pat

[Richard Knox]

Lisa, what a lovely, moving sonnet. There’s not much I can say that others haven’t already expressed in their reviews. I’ve read this several times, and the sonnet form is so appropriate for the theme. Interesting that it just flowed out of your mind that way. On the first reading, I was just a little uncomfortable because, well, death. Reading again, I began to feel the peace that accompanied the contemplation and acceptance of death, “Lie me down on a bed of lavender…” Then I was struck by the love and passion the poem described: reason to hold on tenaciously to life, but also a source of hope and comfort in death. A wonderful poem!

[Lisasview]

Wow, what a great review..I am truly humbled by the words you use to express your feelings.
Thank you so very much...
