The Shores of Alone

A Mermaids Tale

Ocean so vast, natures glory
perfect place to tell my story.
Endless horizon melts to blue
water, like passions, still but true.

Such awesome beauty should be shared
with someone right if he so cared.
A few miles down, a perfect place
where we could lay, create our space.

If he but came with love, as I
instead I'm in a living lie
Though we do have our special thing
the other one is in the wings.

She has more power than I knew
prevents most all we hoped to do.
He goes to her when through with me
I want so much that cannot be.

I want to lay on sandy shore,
I want his love and so much more.
His passion, yes, his fire too
I want him here when day is through.

I want to show him how it is.
Instead I weep, I am not his.
I want to lay under the stars
and take him to that place so far.

The place of joy and freedoms play
a haven that blows cares away.
I want to bathe in his moonlight
and hold his hand through every night.
He doesn't want the same from me
this truth it hurts so much to see.

Waves crashing now, closer to shore
take me away to nevermore.
How much I long to walk in deep
and give the sea my soul to keep.

I started there in days long past
a mermaid sent to land at last.
To find true love is why I came
but this time love appears a game.

A game of love and lust and need.
I always love, I always bleed.
I want him now to hold me there
within his arms, my man who dares.

A man so strong, of bravest soul
of body, mind and heart of gold.
He's all of these and more to me,
my man of steel, he's just not free.

I came to him too late it seems
though loving him was all I'd need.
Its not what he wants anymore
and I feel close to nevermore.

His briefest touch makes magic live
his power lies in what he gives.
I understand his darker side
the reason is, we're of a kind.
There's darkness there within me too.
Like him, my love is misty blue.

I want him now to walk with me
return to peace within the sea.
Yet little ones depend on us
we cannot run, we have their trust.
So dream I will, and make a plan
through much travail, these feelings stand.

And still I sit and have to cry
for very soon we say goodbye.
I have to say these things to him,
he needs to know just where I've been.

I've been in love those times before,
but not like this, down to my core.
I want to lay within his heart
and know we won't be pried apart.

Is he aware a mermaids gift
is his to take if he'd just lift,
and raise his head to see what's here?
The truth of it would be so clear.

Perhaps I ask for much in vain
but then, perhaps, I've all to gain.
I will not rest my weary soul
till this is done and he will know.

Tonight I will lay down with him
and show him what I mean to give
if he cannot or will not take
the bounteous sea will seal my fate.

No more a nymph out of her realm
I shall return, re-weave my spell
Let Neptune come and hold my hand,
my father still, he understands.

If love not be a friend to me
I'll keep my trust within the sea.


PS to all my friends who have been wishing me the best in this endeavor, it only got worse after this..And no I am not suicidal, just very sad..

Sandra,  I wish I had easy answers for you but I am afraid I don't.  Time will heal most of the wounds and some scars will be left but they are left as gentle reminders of our past mistakes.  There is no way to make someone love you and if you have to make them it probably wouldn't be worth it anyway in the long run.  There is someone out there that will see the beauty in your soul and accept it loving and in full dedication. I know that is hard to even imagine right now but you will see in time.  Trust me, I have been there more than once.  Hugs to you and leaving you with the same gift as before.  





Dreams  


Build your dreams on foundations of stone
This is the message so many wise men say
Plan it work it and tweek it for it is yours to own
Don't live life as if your future is in yesterday

Set your goals with happiness in life as your final win
Tempt not fate against the will of dangerous ventures lost
Find the love of your heart and never look back again
Hold true to that love and never give it up at any cost

Many things in life will come full circle around to you
Many offers of pleasure will surface each and every day
Remember this though as you walk into this day anew
All those temptations are there to steal your true love away

Faithfulness to your heart and to the one that  you love
Will bring you the happiness that you have so often sought
A true love in spirit and heart is sent from the heavens above
It is what many times over men and women have so often fought

So start this day as you wake up to the sun and the breeze
Go out into the world with a plan for all your dreams
Walk in the light of your well thought out plan with ease
Knowing that your devotion to your love is all that it seems

My wish for you all is that you will all find in your life
The happiness I have found in the recent love of my own
My day has come to finally be set free and end my strife
As all of my dreams are now coming to me ready to be sewn

~~~ Sandra ~~~
I just wanted you to know that I came here to be with you.........I know that right now more than ever, you need good friends. When I read these thoughts from you, I felt the pain that you are in, and I can only stand helplessly by and be here for you.......I can't take your pain away, but you can lean on me until you don't hurt so bad anymore. Take time to heal, as now is your time to just be yourself.
  You know where to reach me, my sister....


Follow your dream!

Cat we all hope each time we fall for someone new that this one will be the right one....and when it becomes evident that this may not be the case...it can be a very sad and lonely time....I am hoping you will find the one that needs you as much as you need him....James

Just a quick note to thank you all, who read and wrote, to comfort. I am still in the thick of the pain, but I believe it may be improving.
Peace

Hey Sandra.
I'm sorry you're sad right now. Don't know really what to say to help you except that I am in a very similar situation in a way... Maybe it brings some comfort knowing you're not alone in this mess. I really loved the poem, it spoke to me more than you can realise. Hope everything works out...
Take Care!
