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, this is such a magnificent poem. and it has a very important message. "the most important thing in one's life is to die gracefully," said a teacher of mine. and i concur, the last breath we take is the most precious gift.
i also write about death quite frequently. i'd love to know what you think of them.
see you around.

Ern.

pleasure is all mine. and you mentioned you have works that were written in your 20s? i'd love to read those ones as well, if you'd like to tell me where to look.

Okay this is the kinds of poems I love. Expressing your own thoughts. So sweet. I also love how lavender means innocence while you had said "naked" it was like an added meaning. So amazing. And lavender also means protection as if it is communicating so many hidden messages. And as if it is said by an innocent girl to a lovely young man because of the color lavender painted on the words or an innocent man protecting him. I love this. And in my opinion lavender is a bit similar like hyacinth. Which is my fave color and flower.

Also I wish for you to critique my poem. It will not be published though. In social media account or in any way. Thank you lisasview. For your kind consideration. If interested message me plss.

Lavenders represent the pleasure of love and this poem can make you feel love from the inside. I loved it, please write new ones as soon as possible.

A very beautiful romantic, warm, sweet and tender write from your poetic pen, Lisa. Twin Flame love is very finely penned and so lovingly expressed. A poignant write also, it seems that life is ending in the near future and old memories are being very poetically recalled before the lovers meet again in eternity. A very emotional write, your words paint beautiful pictures of a love which was predestined, which was shared in many other lifetimes before the present one. A wonderful, resplendently created poetic gem. A privilege to read and I love both your and Richard's choice of graphic. It is superb and complements the opening lines of the poem so finely. Thank you for sharing, Lisa...

Good morning dearest Marie,
I can not believe that I missed your wonderful and insightful review of my poem…
Everything you wrote is so very true.
Many of us are getting older and memories are abound.
Did you know that this poem is about my own death?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read and review.

Good evening dearest Lisa.
Thank you for your very kind words.
You are a very happy spirit wrapped in the flesh of a body, Lisa. There will be great joy in Spirit when you return home, I can assure you of that. Just wondering, as I feel you are spiritually gifted, Lisa?
Most welcome always, Lisa.
Love,
Marie

Good morning Marie,
Yes, not religious but spiritual…
Why do you ask?

I am not religious either. In this lifetime I walk a spiritual path.

i especially like the lavender Ms. Lisa and the flow .. not quite da bump da bump etc. .. but very conversation like ... with wonderful natural rhymes .. going from your lavender bed into the briny deep sea cave also put me in a special place of peace, love and comfort ... accepting our own deaths in all our human capacities is something sublime and freeing .. we can more easily live in the moment with our whole being ... sure enjoyed reading my friend

Excellent work. The sea has meaning. Love is that which keeps out the loneliness. Well constructed and I'm glad to see someone using rhyme in a world that has nearly abandoned it.

[Lisasview]

Hi Mark,
Yes, I agree very few poets use rhyme or punctuation…
Thank you for noticing that and leaving it in your wonderful review.
I greatly appreciate that you took the time to read and reviewing my work.
Have you read any of Richard’s amazing poems?
I highly suggest you do.
I write in several forms including Sonnets… not easy at least for me but Richard’s are fantastic.
I also use metaphors in many of my poems … if you enjoy metaphors you might like Innocence …
