I stand mystic on this auburn shore

Pondering the stirring alone of me

Waves fluttering like birds all astir …

 

Salt from the sea tastes of your skin

Zephyrs like your warm lips on my face

And gentle whispers voiced in my ear …

 

How I miss the color of your eyes

Same color as birthing skies at dawn

They melt me magic miles over miles …

 

Now you flitter come in daydreams

One day I’ll see the sails of your ship

As clouds roll on like the azure waves …

 

Drifting us mystic on this auburn shore…

WOW ~ that would be the most romantic poem I have read thus far ~ the melancholic heart of your stirrings breaks my heart !

"How I miss the color of your eyes" is a picture-perfect portrait of lost love........
no better words could give voice to the grief in this poem.

This is beautiful, Craig. I love the visuals you gave, I almost want to cry... The picture above also contributed nicely to this piece. :)

A beautiful poem, soft and sincere; and in a slightly different style than usual, but the difference is as graphic and magical as ever. There's something about a romantic poem, especially written like this, that makes me feel that there are knights in shining armour still in existence!

'They melt me magic miles over miles …'

Ordinarily, I try to avoid being influenced by a photo appended to a poem, but the selection of this demure nymphette, the solemn, sepia-toned solitude of her, just swept me up into this magical mysterious place you inhabit. Your choice of nineteenth-century words--auburn, azure, birthing, zephyrs-- complete the illusion of one whose love may not yet have been realized, yet she is sure he is out there....somewhere. Masterful as always, my friend.

SO ROMANTIC! I LOVED IT AND THE PICTURE WAS BREATH TAKING!!

[Geralyn Miller]

Gorgeous imagery; you use your palette of words to paint a picture of intense longing and great beauty, a picture to touch heart and soul. Your inner romantic artist is showing:)

Wonderfully written piece of art here.

[Tina Kline]

This is a very surreal, mysterious poem that feels of longing, sadness and almost peacefulness or tranquility. Over all, so very beautiful!
