Taunting Lines

those tender, sweet and little lines
simply played a tease and taunt
so she left one night to go and look
for her estranged but pulling want

she had a special, chary feeling
one sense he left in her, appealing
one that might have suggested "haunt"
this strange and little seeking want

in last of winter's blowing wind
she felt the tug of this and then
she went seeking for the pull
searching for the want in full

he had left a note on the wind
telling her he'd come, again
telling her he'd gone to sea
as her want became a fantasy

the waves, they crashed as they broke
along the ghost white line of shore
telling her brutally, in the break
that he'd be back, nevermore

her footprints, small, in the sand
along the path, they'd held hands
now she felt the pain of dolor
and her face went white in color

and in her search, she felt the want
and wept of lines that teased a taunt
so evermore she would then just be
a haunt of line, his loving fantasy

this is excellent Sun...
I love the haunted, bittersweet feel of it...
and your cadence is perfect...
very cool weave.
well done my dear poetess of the plains

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.

Magnetic pull on the shoreline of emotion ...
Nicely done.

Wow. I usually am not the most visualizing of reader, but I could see each line in my mind, and it flowed so well...this is a very strong poem here.

The lines of a fantasy.
This is that we all need.
For our lives will feed.
On the lines of our fantasy.

Nice write. I like this..libraryit goes.

...woven throughout is a lovely sentimental, haunting and mystical feel...the reader is lead gently through the mind of this woman, and those otherwise inacessible places are revealed...thank you for taking us there!
