Forevermore

Rhyming Quatrains with a Rhyming Couplet envoi poem regarding thoughts of death... Grateful to Richard for finding the perfect artwork for my poem and helping me along my journey writing poetry.

   

     Forevermore....

Lie me down on a bed of lavender;

naked, I will be in the blazing sun.

Upon death, to this earth I surrender …

for, my journey here with you is now done.

Remember my laughter in ocean's waves …

floating along with no care in the world.

As we hid inside of deep dark sea caves,

our eyes met softly, as blue waters swirled.

Kissing your salty neck, I held on tight

with loving thoughts....I drift to you again,

watching day's sun disappear into night,

knowing our true love's depth would never wane.

Beyond life, to your open arms I soar;

our souls entwine now ~ and forevermore....

One of your finest works, Lisa🍷

Whoever said sadness and death have no beauty, never read this.
It was great working together with you in formulating this creatively gorgeous piece.

Many memorable blessings shared … thank you always, Ma'am! ⁓ Richard🖌

Hi Richard,
Great to get a review from you. This is one of my most favorite poems I have written.
Of course I have been thinking of you….and even more in the past couple of days.
My plan was to message you… and, and I will…

Lisa, you weren’t wrong when you said I’d like your poem forevermore..
It’s truly beautiful. So full of emotion, love, and peace.
The way you described love, nature, and even death felt gentle yet deep.
Lines like "Lie me down on a bed of lavender" and "our souls entwine now and forevermore" really made my heart swell with emotions.
It feels like a tender goodbye and an eternal promise all in one. I loved this, truly.
This poem is going into my favorites. I'll remember this masterpiece. Thank you for sharing this. 🌿💜

I love writing although this year i really have not written very much. However getting reviews like yours is inspiring...so I plan on working on a new one this week...
I do have several that you can of course read if you like. Another one Innocence is quite different and full of Metaphors...

How lucky am I to stumble upon your page this summer’s evening..I read your beautiful composition and was overcome by myriad of emotions: tightness in my chest, tears, yearning, relief…joy…
I hope many are lucky to find a pure form of love that anchors one the way you describe above and can go easy in to the night with that knowledge.
Enjoyed the meter to recite loudly as well.
Thank you thank you..

An evocative poem here my WC friend..:)

Love the opening line..almost imagine it being in field in Provence in the South of France with the sun shining down ....
this is a very touching piece about two souls interconnecting on deeply intimate level...

My favourite lines:

Beyond life, to your open arms I soar;
our souls entwine now ~ and forevermore....

Hiii Lisa!!! I'm new to the writers cafe and stumbled across your beautifully written poem about death. I love the idea of lying in a bed of lavender how wonderful that would be. The memories written in this poems sounds so romantic as well I love the juxtaposition here of life once lead and death. Very beautiful!!

Dear Lisa,
Your thoughts caress gently around me and my heart. This is beautiful, yet tender and emotional. ' Remember my laughter in ocean's waves …floating along with no care in the world. ' Memories will always be.

The photo matches your words perfectly.

Many wonderful blessings to you.

Dear Mam,
This poem is wonderfully written. Forever is prolong and adding more to it... gives the deep meaning to continuation...
The artwork visually pleasing, the white saying the peace stands out tall with bidding bye of calmness... a resting place...
Ocean brings the great emotion.. the laughter is always heard throughout.. wiping the salty tears.. when time comes I will be coming till then am passing every day glancing the sun...
Thanks for sharing your poetry..
Have a nice day!!
( it inspires me to write in a form)

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much for reviewing my post..This means alot to me. Yes, spend time going over form as I feel that poems written in some sort of form are always the very best.
