Lonely Voyager

Lonely Voyager

 

 

 

i’ve put an ocean between us

an unchartered course

of half moon promises

my heart remains in absolution

a lonely  voyager.

Reviews

[Ciara]

we often times come to terms with the punishment we inflict on ourselves and find comfort in being alone but the heart still travels places even when our feet do not follow

[Kelly Scheppers]

An eloquent review, Ciara...lovely worded. Thank you!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

Gorgeous photo and exquisite write dear Kelly. You beautifully express the metaphor of loneliness in broken love, as compared to a desolate sea. Great imagery throughout- half moon representing one lover alone seemingly by choice. Haunting, elusive, perfect vignette.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Never a detail will escape you! Thank you, my wondrous friend!

Nice work again Kelly - playing on the 'Miniaturist Lyre' to great effect. Excellent ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

I am thankful for your presence here, Tony. Thank you!

[DIVYA]

The ocean somehow felt so peaceful here. The course though unsure, yet somehow healing, fulfilling. The heart is remaining in absolution. It's a lonely yet good place to be because all good things begin from absolution. The distance we place between us and those we once loved can be so therapeutic. I wish the poet an ocean full of joy and serenity. So beautifully penned and so relatable are your words.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your friendship is a treasure, Divya. Thank you most kindly!

[DIVYA]

For me too, dear Kelly!
Wishing you much beauty and joy today and everyday.

This reminds me a bit of the old woman at the end of the movie Titanic. "searching for an absolution that never comes." I could be wrong about that quote. :)

We often look back with regret at things we did down the road. That gulf can grow bigger and bigger if we let it. Some things just have to be let go.

[Kelly Scheppers]

I've always felt my pages were more complete whenever you visited them. Thank you for that, Tim. And I believe you're right about the quote. It's very haunting, very hard to forget the context for which it was spoken.

Some people are made for the ocean. Some people just need to vacation at said ocean. Some people are not sea worthy and will not be able to contemplate their place in this world unless it's in context to another. The will never even visit the ocean. Wonderful Kelly.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thanks, Buddy! I sure have missed you!

[jacob erin-cilberto]

and the question is: does the speaker want that ocean to narrow or widen...
is lonely the best answer after all?

[Kelly Scheppers]

If there is reciprocation, it will narrow. Time will tell. Thank you, Jacob.

with absolute surgical precision, just 5 slicing lines, you manage to sum up the ache and resolution one feels upon the end of something, someone. What else can I say but this is a master's stroke Kelly

Bravo

[Kelly Scheppers]

Much appreciate the compliments, Ken. Thank you for the smile!

I had lost a true love to the Pacific. Distance love will fade away. Powerful use of words dear Kelly. You made the reader understand. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry.
