Message to the Sea

A collaboration with Rock And Roll Cowboy, a dear friend of mine; the female's perspective lines are in blue.

To the Sea:

I’m sending out a plea for help
I'm sending out a prayer of safety
Not for me, but the one I lost.
Not for me, but the one I let slip away.
Separated now by this cold, cold war.
Separated now by these cold, distant shores.

My love is frozen in time.
And now I can't melt the distance between us
I’m stranded in a foreign land
He's in unknown places, without the comfort of my hand.

Alone I remain along the isolated shoreline of my heart.
I can only stand here and place my feet along the water's edge
If only I knew she were there, somewhere
And pray he feels me somewhere, here…
Awaiting my arms to pull her into forever
For all I want is to feel forever in his embrace.

Then I’d have the strength to find a way home
Bring him home to me.
For without my soul’s companion
For without him
I have no will to return.
It's just too hard a lesson to learn.

I should have said goodbye.

This is a brilliant and beautiful collaberative piece. It has a rhythm and feel like a dance between two people alone in their own universe together. Again, well done Kara.

Wow, this is a tough collaboration concept, but it has worked out very well.

Good form, good choice of words, good rhythm, well imparted message.

A very good piece

From the sea...I have come home with her, she who stays without any form in my mind. A few days back I lost her. But again I found her on this ocassion of this sea voyage. Thank you very much for sharing such a clear-cut and simple-to-mind poem.

I feel better now, after reading it.

Nice work!

[Seriana]

Very nice job . I was a little thrown off balance until i read your note explaining the colors and perspectives. I liked the relation between love and sea.

Alone I remain along the isolated shoreline of my heart.
I can only stand here and place my feet along the water's edge

These were memorable lines. Very nice poem.
