Postcard

Memories of a love lost

Yearning to retrace

     Our footprints in the sand

Longing to embrace

     The solace of your hand

The sound of your breath

     Perfected in a sigh

A fate worse than death

     A pain I can't deny

The memories we made

     As we strolled the beach together

Memories i would not trade

    They will live with me forever

We floated above the milky way

     With no intent to land

No excuses or words to say

      Love consecrated in the sand

As we watch the tide 

      As it rolls majestically to and fro

We embrace with arms open wide 

      With promise of never letting go

As the fickle tide rolls in

      It sweeps the shore into the deep

To remind us now and then

      Of promises sworn to keep

I took a small vacation

      To the places we used to stay

Overcome by my emotion

      Sands of time, come what may

I cherish our time in the sand

      Even if you blatantly disregard

Walking together holding hands

      I'll send you a postcard.

Isnt it so bittersweet that for every joy there is an accompanying tear. What grants value to our loves is our sorrow. As with all things there is an end and with it our regrets our remorse and yet still we crave for those things and those moments that make us human . Well done very well done emotion driven as are my own this touches the soul .
