Just marking time

Storypoem (Fiction)

Just marking time

 

The sea is calm the sky is clear.

I walk alone along the pier.

Recalling how we used to talk

as we enjoyed our nightly walk.

 

A stroll we took quite frequently.

To see the sunset on the sea.

Enjoying the togetherness

 as daylight gave way to darkness.

 

We were content to be a pair

 the love we shared beyond compare

Now death has claimed you for his own

and I am left to grieve alone

 

Though when I walk along the pier

I can feel your presence near.

The evening breeze’s soft caress

 reminds me of your tenderness.

 

We never had a family

There is no one to comfort me.

Now when I walk along the pier

 my troubles seem to disappear.

 

This  is where I need to be

where I can feel you near to me

As I wait impatiently

 for my friend death to set me free.

 

I know that I will rejoin you.

My heart tells me this is true.

I know somewhere you wait for me

 and I will join you presently.
