You let me go

You let me go

 

Come to me,

Lie in my arms under a soft Italian sunset.

 

There is a place West of Folloncia,

On the small island of Portoferraio, you will find me on,

Isolotto d’ Ortano.

 

  Soft breezes flow over our bodies,

As the waves, caress the shore.

 

Kiss me…kiss me one last time, my sweet love.

Soft breathing…gentle languid touches.

 

Lie with me until our last sunrise.

This will not be goodbye.

 

You let me go, the tears cry for our love.

You walked away; you let me go.

 

Until we met again…

If your meant to be she will always come back. What's meant to be will be... great poem, its lovely with a bittersweet ending. Your such a romantic lol great job Ron

[ron]

Thank you. She has not left me physically, she left me emotionally,. Kind of hard to explain.

[FlatLineBeauty]

This was lovely. Soft and sweet with a bit of a sad ending yet you give the ending an opening for her to come back. xo Winter

[ron]

Not an opening for her. Its how I feel about her but I guess in a veiled way it was meant for some one else to come in. I don't know who, maybe the right one.

This is very soft and wistful, as the wind you describe so eloquently. I find that one of the most difficult things in life is knowing when to remain vigilant, and hold on - or when it's time to let go and move on in life... but I enjoyed the positive outlook at the end, "until we meet again"

beautiful, thank you for sharing.

[ron]

Thank you V.C. you are far to kind in your review, but thank you.

... you let me go ? There are many ways of looking at this. She is setting you free - or she is setting herself free ? Definitely bittersweet and hard to swallow, well written, Ron.

[ron]

She is setting me free with the agreement that I never leave. If that makes sense?

[dw817]

I'm - trying to understand this. Clarity. You are set free in that you will never leave her ?

[ron]

Kind of. I told her I want to leave and she agrees we don't get along like we should. But she uses guilt to keep me and her memory of what was said seems to fit only what she wants to believe.

[dw817]

Hmm ... So it is you wanting to break out of the relationship, not her. Life is fleeting, are you sure, Ron ?

[ron]

Yes I am very sure. But it wont happen.

[dw817]

Then I quietly add this. It is not her that is letting you go, but it is you that is letting her go ...

[ron]

Perhaps...

[Laminators Dubai]

wow
i really liked it.......sad but lovely.^^

[ron]

Thank you glitch. It's how I feel about love and relationships right now.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Perhaps she left something for you to remember her by..."gentle languid touches" are not easily forgotten.

[ron]

I remember all (if only a few) of the gentle languid touches I have been blessed with to feel.

[SyberRose]

I love that song...really beautiful...and your poem complimented it very well Ron....Enjoyed...Rose:)

[ron]

Thank you Rose. For this one I had an idea of what I wanted and then found a place to write about it and then a song to polish it and take it in the direction the song took it...if that makes sense? Its a new direction in my writing I want to explore.

A romantic piece Ron.....that left me feeling a little sad however. Not sure if that was the intent. It is hard when someone "let's go", especially when you are not ready for them to leave. I do like however that you ended with "until we meet again", it holds hope.

*just noticed that little typo-- I think you mean *meet*, not *met*. Although re-reading it, "met" could imply that you did in fact meet again. LOL

[ron]

Thank you Dye. I never intend my writings to make some one feel sad...I am sorry for that but I write what I am feeling. This is who I am a romantic at heart, sometimes I feel it would be less painful if I was not one.

[Dye]

Never be sorry for what you right Ron, I guess I just mean I could feel your emotion in this. I guess I could have just said that to begin with. It would be less painful but pain makes the good stuff great in comparison.

[Dye]

*write* not right

[ron]

Thank you Dye. Oh i will continue to write how I feel and my desires...keep watching some of them pop up from time to time:) Every one here at WC inspires me to write better and explore my self. For that I can never thank every one here enough.

[shallimarRose]

Ron.. This is another strong emotional piece.. The hardest missing of all is missing someone that is there but NOT there.. I so get this.. xo Rose

[Ruth]

So powerful in emotion hon....lingers after it has been read...
