Message to the Sea

A collaboration with Rock And Roll Cowboy, a dear friend of mine; the female's perspective lines are in blue.

To the Sea:

I’m sending out a plea for help
I'm sending out a prayer of safety
Not for me, but the one I lost.
Not for me, but the one I let slip away.
Separated now by this cold, cold war.
Separated now by these cold, distant shores.

My love is frozen in time.
And now I can't melt the distance between us
I’m stranded in a foreign land
He's in unknown places, without the comfort of my hand.

Alone I remain along the isolated shoreline of my heart.
I can only stand here and place my feet along the water's edge
If only I knew she were there, somewhere
And pray he feels me somewhere, here…
Awaiting my arms to pull her into forever
For all I want is to feel forever in his embrace.

Then I’d have the strength to find a way home
Bring him home to me.
For without my soul’s companion
For without him
I have no will to return.
It's just too hard a lesson to learn.

I should have said goodbye.

I really enjoyed this. I like the collaboration between the man and the woman, the differences in the way they think. nice work. =]

The effect of the colors renders an image for me of one of those cliff faces by the sea where there's a tinny echo, like a natural reverb/delay, like the same voice reflected, refracted in wavy sunshine sparkles...
Lovely you two and intense, like an internal dance within the self...

Well let me be the first to leave a review, obviously I love it but just let me say what a pleasure it was working with such a talented person who is also such a dear sweet friend. I couldn't of had a better writing partner.
