Island

Contributed by joancog on Friday, 30th March 2012 @ 11:52:25 AM in AEST
Topic: LostLove

We used to be an island,
it was only you and me,
All around was endless sky
and infinite blue sea,
Anything we hoped for,
we closed our eyes and dreamed.

People tried to swim to us
To splash in our happy sea.
Every day I waved good-bye
As you sailed off on your journeys.
You couldn’t wait to come back home
and tell me what you’d seen.

But one day, fate it took you,
on a different wayward swell,
To a place you’d never seen before,
What it stirred you’d never tell.
The waves kept pushing you away,
Until the current quietly shifted
You couldn’t find your way back home
to our kingdom we were gifted.

Adventures are the only thing
That you say you are seeking,
But what can those words really mean,
For the love that we are keeping.
You gaze away from paradise
To a shoreline that’s intriguing,
Uncharted distant harbors
holding only your own dreams.

I’ve waited for my heart to say,
It’s time to let us go.
My arms they ache from holding you
And keeping dreams afloat.
I let you go and watch so sad,
as you happily drift away,
To a different kind of ocean
from the one that we have made.

An island is a beautiful, uncharted, fragile thing,
Forgotten and abandoned until the next wave brings.
Two lovers who imagine something beautiful and sweet
And stay to build their castle
on the shimmering crystal beach.
And once again the waves will lap,
On pristine sandy shores
Singing songs about the dreams
Of those who stayed and loved before.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
