When it is time Please bring me back here To this place my heart never leaves Where love and laughter Linger in the air And the sight of your face Is only a thought away. Waves embrace the shore In mimicry of our magic With both the power And gentleness of your caress While soft ocean mist is your kiss Dissolving pain’s remnants And infusing me with strength Cast me onto these winds That remember when One word said everything This heart yearned to hear I will mingle with sands From faraway lands My eyes never managed to see Don’t despair in alone I am yours; I will be here Warmth of sun will be my touch Brush of breeze will whisper love Feel and listen until someday Our atoms find each other And entwine for eternity. |

Don’t despair in alone I am yours; I will be here Warmth of sun will be my touch Brush of breeze will whisper love Feel and listen until someday Our atoms find each other And entwine for eternity. ~*~ We are on the same wave, suthern, but it never surprises me that the deeper feelings are only felt through Extra Shudder Perception... |

Waves embrace the shore In mimicry of our magic With both the power And gentleness of your caress While soft ocean mist is your kiss Dissolving pain’s remnants And infusing me with strength ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What????? you went to the ocean with out me?????

Cast me onto these winds That remember when One word said everything This heart yearned to hear I will mingle with sands From faraway lands My eyes never managed to see ********** Now this is poetry delight and the above verse is the icing on the cake ( or green in brussel sprout) choose one. LOL Superb write and might I say that free verse looks good on you. |

Loved the entirty of this poem, but these last two paragraphs were...well...intimacy with narrative pen....stunning write! |

This is stunningly beautiful, young lady -- one of the best I've seen here. Agreeing with JM on this, free verse is gold for you. |

Suthern beloved one, Oh dear Lord, how exquisite is this, I wish so much I had even half your ability darling one, but its no use I never will. You know I’m going to say this is utterly perfect don’t you? Well, of course I am because it is. The structure, the flow, that ending all combine to reveal the genius that is you, your writing is truly outstandingly good. That you can write so that I can see the scene and almost hear the waves is just an example of how brilliant and emotive this perfect piece of beauty from you is. Truly exquisite beloved one, I love this, I love it utterly Love you always And forever more Mushy  Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds |
