O’er echoes of this destined night

A lonely lover stands on a beach wishing

 

O’er echoes of this destined night

By jack

 

To thee, my sweet and tender jewel, oh all that I shall ever need

Within my heart a calling finds the windswept dreams of open sea

Of every tide to wash ashore as steady in a fluent pace

I stand, my footprints in the sand of every move that I may make

 

To feel the rush of silent wind a’ gusting round my every pore

So calm my soul doth call to thee to be my true and every more

For I shall be but half a man without your wondrous sequined touch

A’ glisten on a moon beam dance I’ve come to find I want so much

 

I listen as the crested waves do fall before my weary eyes

O’er endless the horizon cuts a path across these charcoal skies

To pray, my hand now cups this love, so offered, you do send my way

Now held so high before this night a’ glowing of this grand display

 

I bear my soul to only thee, in promises I hold so true

An open book of turning page eternal finds my desperate view

Until the light of morning comes to rise in vibrant colors bright

I stand before, and shout your name o’er echoes of this destined night

This is like a lover's lullaby. Like the ocean's waves it lulls my heart to a wondrous place of the sweetness that is love and longing. Quite beautiful sentiments.

I truly enjoyed reading this. The poetry just flows and fills the reader with the most awesome pictures of love and a beautiful midnight.

Loved the "wondrous sequined touch" - great. Speaks so well of a man in true love.

Thanks for sharing this lovely poem.

Dark humor once befriended.
Artistic licence, defended.
Move towards light, intended.
Your work has now ascended.
You know? I think it's splendid.

[Jack...]

Gorgeous! If that can be an adequate descriptor for a poem, it shall go to this writing. Did it again Jack.

[Jack...]

Thank you so much...Que. can I call you Que?

[Emerald Seas]

You're welcome! Sure, although there is a "Que" on WC (I think may be a guy, not sure) - the "Sera" is actually much closer to my real name which is partly why I picked the phrase :)

[Jack...]

Ok then, Sera it is. Thank you so much dear Sera
