The Shores of Alone

First, I would like to say I'm sorry for missing so many poems lately. I am here with the flu, and just now able to spend more than 5 minutes at the computer. Promise to catch up
S
I've tasted love a time or two
and thought I did some other times
The first so sweet, so rich and new
while others turn to bitter wine.

Dilemna comes when tasting need
while insecure about the source
I feel the love, and do the deed,
but later, veering wild off course.

Thus loving leaves me not yet full
though plenty of him's been consumed
still longing for the truth to pull
away from lies which he presumed.

The taste of love, so good so sweet
can take a heart and truly heal.
Again you feel the strongest beat
and drink the nectar purely real.

When next you're offered luscious taste
make sure it's true, no drunken waste..

Sandra this is so wonderful, I really like this one, you can really write well
Catch the fairy dust, this is wonderful


Iam that merry wanderer of the night
I jest to Oberon, and make him smile

Impeccable rhythm and rhyme with a sweet message. So did you compose this before the flu set in? I hope so, otherwise the rocking motion might have done you in.

Get well'er', soon!

catalinamoon - sorry to hear about the flu, had it myself and goodness, sick isn't the word. Your poem rings so true, never knowing if a real one, or another is the one that's there. I did enjoy this writing.

Catalina,
"I feel the love and do the deed, but later veering off course". This is perfect... And you know I'm wishing you well soon..
Love, Elise

If only that taste came with guarantees so we'd know up-front whether we were drinking from the hurting or healing cup! *S* This is great... get well soon!

sometimes - we need some nourishment
we take from nearly any source
to sustain us in our search
- I really liked this

Sad to say, I cannot write this well when feeling terrific, let alone when I have the flu!

Well done!
