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....

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…

"watching day's sun disappear into night,
knowing our love's depth would never wane.."
This is so touching. Undying love is such a beautiful thing.

[Lisasview]

Yes, and as our lives float by we only can hope that we find love and carry it with us.
Thank you for your lovely review Sonnie...

What stuck with me here, at this reading, is the tenacity of reaching out and extending toward an expected receiver at the end, to reunite and to be received into each other's presence, on another plane of existence: the meeting of eyes, the kissing, the drifting toward, and going into open arms then entwining. There are true connections in our earthly lives. How fortunate for us should we find it and nurture it into forevermore. Thanks for sharing. /Frederick.

Loved the imagery in this one. Also loved the implied message, that not even death can erase love.

I like the first two lines...yes, we go out as we came in...or perhaps we hope to.
This could be a love poem written by my parents who were married 70 years and are together again now, wherever they are. Quite like it.

Wow, 70 years.. almost as long as I have been alive!! They must have been quite young? or possibly lived a long life. Love can extend your life..for sure.
Thank you for reading, reviewing and relating..

well, you asked for it so ya got it toyota
i am not one to read 'sappy love' poems (no offence meant), but this one, this one drew me in
the image you paint is indeed that of a thousand words
so many noteworthy lines ,,, including
'Upon death, to this earth I surrender …
for, my journey here with you is now done.'
i'm touched, thank you
