She looks out upon the water Wondering what ever happened to her The smell so fresh and wind so cool Makes her sight so much farther Little does she know, one exists too, Her equal, just across the water Sometimes he thinks of her, Sometimes she thinks of him He looks out upon the same blue lake Wondering what it will take To be immortal together A picture they would make As waves getting wetter Getting lost in the memory wake Sometimes he thinks of her, Sometimes she thinks of him If only their eyes, lids open could see Each other waiting distantly A perfect mirror of one another Each, a lifetime waiting patiently Will that time come? they wonder Would that it could, one day be Sometimes he thinks of her, Sometimes she thinks of him Sometimes it’s all she can take When she becomes, The lady of the lake |

This is beautiful, JML...both longing for the other, for what seems an impossible union, yet bound still by their longing. Lovely writing... ~ Claire |

I agree with all ...but I am wondering is there going to be a continuation piece? It has me longing to hear of their union. Jeffrey |

She looks out upon the water Wondering what ever happened to her The smell so fresh and wind so cool Makes her sight so much farther Little does she know, one exists too, Her equal, just across the water Sometimes he thinks of her, Sometimes she thinks of him He looks out upon the same blue lake Wondering what it will take To be immortal together --------------- If only their eyes, lids open could see Each other waiting distantly A perfect mirror of one another Each, a lifetime waiting patiently Will that time come? they wonder Would that it could, one day be Sometimes he thinks of her, Sometimes she thinks of him Sometimes it’s all she can take When she becomes, The lady of the lake --------------- The lady in the lake longs for his touch, praying he too... wants her this much. together if only in spirit... contentment is found. The words unspoken ... break the silence...with harmonious sound. She sits in the sunshine there by her lake ... and looks out at him... his beauty more -- than she can take. He sends her poems... from the other shore... and they wait to see what fate has in store. jm for me...the sweetest gift of poetry is when another poets words inspire me to write. yours always do... but even more your poems ... make me want to be a better poet... another one of your gifts. thank you for the inspiration. stalking you always, your jm Well the sun sets gently on your shoulders And it makes me want to touch you there. And the light in your eyes makes me feel Like there's something much better out there Something kind... And I know someday I might be looking around Trying to find some purpose Well purpose it can't be that hard to find As long as I've got the wind... The wind and your love to carry me. vertical horizon |

i really like this one i can close my eyes and see the two of you looking out across the water for each other very romantic poem you should put it in a bottle and float it over to her. i like your style of writing sir gemini I want to be the face you see when you close your eyes I want to be the touch you need every single night I want to be your fantasy And be your reality And everything between I want you to need me, like I need you. celine dion |

an enchanting and haunting tale of star-crossed lovers ... --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
