No hope, no light, no spark of flame-
not a single taper lit.
Darkness be reality-
stumble in blind man’s remiss.


Not even light enough to know
the cast of me from deep shadow.
Just the silent mimicry--
Habit moves what I believe…
Every step that we misstep
becomes the drama’s misery.
Follow footprints of regret
while prancing tide’s eternity;
each step impressed upon the shore.
Footprint left in search of more-
hopes compressed and washed away—
I knew that it would end this way.


Watch the tide
drag out to sea
the gifts I thought
were just for me.
Leaving just a sparkle’s dust-
a land of thousands—bits of lust--
as the moon pulls back the tide
in kiss of sun in golden rise.


White sand glitter
On the beach…
Sparkles every
spark of me.
Oh see what you
can do to me?
Leaving rock
in blush of pink…
Kiss me?
Won’t you? Kiss me?
Please?
Leave one shell
upon the beach.
Just one thing
to cleave my ear,
remembering
that you were here.

Sad but so beautifully written Celeste!  I don't know what the other problem was but I sure enjoyed what I read here!

You know what? Lately, when I get one of my few poetic ideas, I get on here and someone has done it so much better! Sheesh, I am getting worried  
OK, I have to quote on this poem


"hopes compressed and washed away—
I knew that it would end this way.

Watch the tide
drag out to sea
the gifts I thought
were just for me.
Leaving just a sparkle’s dust-
a land of thousands—bits of lust--
as the moon pulls back the tide
in kiss of sun in golden rise."

So exactly what I would have said to someone, if he would have listened.
You said this so beautifully, I am truly glad I read this even though it was for Sharon  LOL

Serenity, I love this poem. In every way. Though I now want to go back to the ocean and cry a little.

Follow footprints of regret
while prancing tide’s eternity;
each step impressed upon the shore.
Footprint left in search of more-
hopes compressed and washed away—
I knew that it would end this way.
Watch the tide

Leaving just a sparkle’s dust-

Do you ladies charge a fee to read minds and mirror hearts *sigh*
beautiful write of imagery and emotion me girlies.

I'm going crazy, I'm losing sleep.
I'm in too far, I'm in way too deep over you.
You'll always be the one.
You were the first, you'll be the last.

this poem is so fantastic!  Not at all what I expected from your lead in, but far from disappointed.  My favorite section is this one:

Habit moves what I believe…
                                                           Every step that we misstep
                                                          becomes the drama’s misery.
                                                            Follow footprints of regret
                                                          while prancing tide’s eternity;
                                                       each step impressed upon the shore.
                                                         Footprint left in search of more-
                                                      hopes compressed and washed away—
                                                         I knew that it would end this way.
