Deserted; bereft of your company;
Your love a retreating tide
Or a falling Autumn leaf.
Brittleness
Fills the air and skeletal twigs
Populate my life
Despite the summer sun.
The tide lays bare the rocks
And sand blows across the empty beach.
Once we held so much
As one, rolling on the ebb and flow of life.
But today you do not put your arms
Around me
And your smile sits on another horizon
Not mine.
Our ship
Sinks below the horizon
Out of sight forever.
**************
But always my soul yearns
For you.

I sense the longing in this poem. Juxtaposing loss against an ocean scene worked beautifully! I hope that you’ve been well; I missed reading your poetry this month.

Thank you Abigail. This is a poem I wrote some time ago. I have been very busy that is all – no time to think. Another week or so and I hope to be back to my routine.

Thank you for your lovely enthusiastic compliment. I think our best work is when our feelings are heightened by events, don’t you!
