The Sea I saw them sitting there holding hands, speechless, contented with one another. I saw the wind ripple her hair, felt it quicken his heart, and I saw his thumb slowly caressing hers. I saw the way she smiled at his touch, heard her whisper I love you, felt his pulse quicken with joy. I touched their naked feet and felt their love spread through my waters. I sent a wave to kiss their knees, grasp their waist, I never wanted them to leave. I pulled them in, hugged them tight, but by all the god's above, I never meant to see them die. w. james beard, jr.

JW this is a very tender, well written poem with the creative view of being written by the "sea" the imagery and emotions of the couple was perfect. very unique poem with a twist and unusual ending. excellent writing. take care kind poet jm It's amazing How you make your face just like a wall How you take your heart and turn it off How I turn my head and you lose it all ... And it's unnerving (How one move just puts me by myself) There you go just trusting someone else (Now I know I put us both through hell) ... I'm not sayin That there was nothing wrong (I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me) And I'm not sayin (We ever had the right to hold on) (I just didn't wanna let you get away from me) ~MB20~ **** I think I could need - this in my life I think I'm just scared - I think too much I know this is wrong it's a problem I'm dealing If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home There's an awful lot of breathing room But I can hardly move If you're gone - baby you need to come home Cuz there's a little bit of something me In everything in you... ~MB20~ ***** She says baby, It's 3AM ... I must be lonely, When she says baby, Well I can't help but be scared of it all sometimes, Says the rains gonna wash away I believe it. ~MB20~ |
