The Pier

The Pier

A Poem by Kenaz
"

A personal poem for the one who is my life...

"
Before the fall I found my future,
She stood beside a lake of glass,
The sun reflected off the surface,
And carried light onto the lass.

In her eyes I felt a deepness,
Time has never seemed more still,
My broken heart had been so empty,
But on the night I felt it fill.

She stretched her hand I took it slow,
Her hand fit mine just like a glove,
I kissed her then out on the pier,
And for the first time I felt love.

Two more summers came and went,
Then slower winters passed us by,
But here we are out on this pier,
And I won't ever leave your side.

Every time I see this place,
I will only see your eyes,
Feel the sunlight on my face,
And your lips opposed to mine.

If I had a single dream,
I would dream for you to stay,
To bring me back out to the pier,
And love me like you did that day.

One day when we're old enough,
The sun will sink beneath the sky,
We'll come here to recite our vows,
And sing our daughters lullabies.

The music is "Liz on Top of the World"- I added it because frankly it is beautiful and it reminds me of that moment

A very mesmerizing, heartfelt lyrical write. I really enjoyed it and had no other choice but to add it to my favorites. Bravo!

One tiny suggestion:

The point of view changes from the beginning to end. It start from third person and ends at first person. It's a bit bothersome.

Other than that, brilliant work!

Lovely to have that special place. Lovely ending to this beauty-filled poem.

Yes indeed, on the shores of the Eerie
This is a very romantic poem about a chain of events that haunts a place, a pier. This emotionally charged pier has the power to turn back the clock to an extraordinary experience. We all know of such places.

I've read this one three times, when I was underway, and each time it gave me new sentiments....
"She stood beside a lake of glass" interesting wording, for me, it means, or the lake is frozen, or there is a metaphorical glass kind of wall in between, so you can't reach her."

You're reaching out in this persona, to your beloved, I think that's what the second and third stanza's say. I think your love is "the fall" and that you call her a "she" is brilliant.

I would wonder in what season this children (daughters) would be (have been) born, then....
Nice ponderings there, overall a beautiful seasonal poem, of love, life, and happiness.

I am very pleased to listen to the song of your passionate heart.
Before the fall... Hmmm?
I have fallen too... We all have.
Yet at times, when we stumble we drop our most precious gifts and we loose the power or trust to hold them again...
I hope your dreams come true and she will again trust you with her kiss at the end of the pier...
If this is a true IRL story you have my deepest and sincerest sympathies.
If not, the poetry is moving either way.
