Bottled Note daisiesnfld: Bottled Note . It was but for a short sweet time I lingered in love's golden sun And basked there unashamedly My past behind me, the race I'd won . Or so I'd thought until one day Once I'd believed every word Endearing, loving words you had said Spoken never again to be heard . As easily as they came they left Like shadows in the night That disappear when morning's near Not a remnant left in sight . As though disappearing ink were used Love letters upon one's heart Once written to ignite, dried all night Evaporated, love did depart . Kissed in one's hand, then blown away Endless dunes built on the sand Why they would drift, leave love short shrift I do not understand . When waves roll up onto the shore And my bottled note is thrown afar And the tide carries it way out to sea To find you wherever you are . Will it still be as damp with my tears And will it still hold the lock of my hair The tender kisses I blew so dear Still be awaiting you in there . I wonder if you'll know it was I That had sent it to you that way When you find it walking this very beach And realize what you lost that day . DaisiesNfld Dividends: This is a beautiful poem, Daisies. I’m so sorry you’ve had to endure the pain detailed in this entry.. sigh, and the violation of trust. It’s never easy to lose someone you thought would stay in your life. daisiesnfld: Oh no no Dividends, this poetry has nothing to do with my own life. However, I do write poetry based on lives of others; family, friends, co-workers, etc. Many times even by request. Thanks for reading though and for your comment. Dividends: Oops. ^^’ That’s my bad. You’re very welcome. It’s a good poem all the same, so thank you for sharing it. AMomentInTime: Touching, as always.. A feast for the mind. Thank you, for leaving us in awe once more. | poems Chat Room Similar Conversations |
