I drove past the shore
past the mangroves
that grow near the sea
the beach's powder white sands
make me rember her

How she gave me my
gift of this expression
these verses as her gift
of love

Even though
I'm with a new girl now
who kisses me
when I need to be kissed
who hugs me
when I need to be hugged
who loves me
when I need to be loved
and whose intelect
runs wild and free

I shall always remember these verses
as the gift she gave to me.

dedicated to an ex
who gave me the gift of poetry

This was a great poem.  I think you summed it up best...

Nice work

Although we move on to the next, we never forget what the one before gave us. Poetry is the best gift, and you should be truely grateful. Thanks for posting.
