Just As You Left Me

~ a romantic scribble ~

It is just as you left it…

                      this shore on which I wait

         

 

watching the ocean, in colors of your eyes,

                 rising

                             as my whole heart rises

                                       blue as my reflection

               though waves of passion still find me in red

                 blushing…

           naked to your breath

surrounded only by the echo of the wind,

stirring the storm that whispers of clouds,

                        some colored with hope

 

wishing…dreaming

                              you will uncover me

among the seashells and treasures lost

but found again

                                        just as you left me…

 

                                     watching the ocean, in colors of your eyes

Beautiful place and journey in your words.

a really nice image of watching the ocean in the colors of your eyes...

stirring the storm is good when the storm is of passion.

A beautifully written poem that encompasses the lasting memory of a lover's state of bliss after ending a most recent rendezvous with their significant other. Great work Julie. A remarkable poem. :)

It's not just a romantic scribble; it's the MOST romantic scribble! As if that wasn't enough, you gilded the lily with a most romantic picture. Breathtaking!
