Waves of change

~

As I breathe,

I feel the ocean breathing

Here I stand,

a moonbeam in my hand

Touch my heart,

and know this endless feeling

Like the tide,

our journey now is planned

Horizons call,

a beacon in the distance

Silhouettes,

now dance upon its shore

Take a chance,

and reach for what you’re dreaming

As these sands,

may wash away no more

I have come,

of sailing vessels calling

As the foam,

so silent meets the sea

Waves of change,

will not dispose emotions

Drifting soft,

as you lay here with me

Melodies,

are found of waves now stirring

Glistening,

this twilight canopy

Heaven’s song,

in whispered quiet motions

As the stars,

extend your light I see

And I smile,

for here we find the rainbow

Rains may fall,

from clouds upon the sky

Still the sun,

now sends its dancing shadows

In your arms,

my love stays warm and dry

Stardust eyes,

enhance the scene so sweetly

Golden tan,

your skin upon my own

Miles long,

this beach awaits our footprints

Now our love,

has come to take us home

Will this duet of a poem was amazing as each alternate line in call and response went on. I reread it and every alternate line is a poem in and of itself. It must have been a lot of work to compose, but it reads magically. Hats off my friend.

Thanks so very much Soren. I hadn't noticed that, I will read it again myself right now.

You are without doubt THE romantic poet will. You are certainly giving the old masters a run for their money. I always appreciate the flow of your work. It just slips smoothly off the tongue. Reads so well when read out loud. Such intelligent use of rhyme and fab imagery. Well done.

[Chris Shaw]

You are welcome. Lovely poetry will.

An especially beautiful rendition that read like a song. I loved the structure of this poem, the lovely quartets and the way you placed them.
The meter and rhyme made the message so effective.
Adored the 3rd verse. The promise of love feels so complete, reading this. Kudos dear Willweb. 💜

Thank you so very much Divya my friend for once again leaving words that brought a smile to my face.

[John Sullivan]

Beautiful stuff. Evocative.

[willweb]

Thanks so much John, Glad you liked it.

[John Sullivan]

I did. I say "evocative" so much it's probably starting to lose meaning coming from me, but it is. Nicely done.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

your work always makes me think of the old bards like Wordsworth and Byron and others, but in a current body of words.
Such uplifting sentiment expressed here.

Wow Jacob, what a compliment. Man, you humble me with your thoughts. Thank you.

[Papaya]

This is stunning. I wish I could think of something more to say but it's just beautiful love poetry.

[willweb]

What you wrote is more than enough for me. Coming from a talented poet like yourself, any comment means a lot.
