The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-07-10 09:11 PM


The artist and the writer
plotted secret their escape
the shores upon La Jolla
set the scene of long await.

Breathless anticipaion
mixed with legendary fame
they always kept the longing
it was time to feel again.

Her memories of kisses
with champagne and candlelight
soon waiting would be over
as they loved throughout the night.

With heated racing heartbeats
they arrived to ocean's song
a rocky sheltered haven
ending separation long.

Moonglow shone upon their love
shooting stars spoke of their fate
his arms a force of nature
proving time was not too late.

With dreams partially sated
she returned to special room
unknowing that with absence
their relationship was doomed.

For while she waited anxious
he had gone to someone else
a claim of feelings changing
left her lone with heart of melt.

She cried within the cottage
in a state of broken shock
her dream became her nightmare
with her love in final dock.

Still nightly, lying lonely
she plays sounds of ocean waves
oft times with reminiscence
of a love she could not save.

catalinamoon - you led me to a place where I felt I would want to be, and then I wasn't sure... A most beautiful flow of words, and very well written.

So sad, yet touching.  Sometimes, memories like that serve a purpose and help us see there is hope of love again.  Good write, Sandra.

One of your best, Sandra.  Very eloquently stated lines:  "they arrived to ocean's song", "her dream became her nightmare
with her love in final dock."   Why do I relate to this poem...

Oh, how beautifully sad.

Her dream became her nightmare

This poem really touched me. It's so painful to feel so much when it's not returned. A beautiful write as you always do
