Forevermore

Rhyming Quatrains with a Rhyming Couplet envoi poem regarding thoughts of death... Grateful to Richard for finding the perfect artwork for my poem and helping me along my journey writing poetry.

   

     Forevermore....

Lie me down on a bed of lavender;

naked, I will be in the blazing sun.

Upon death, to this earth I surrender …

for, my journey here with you is now done.

Remember my laughter in ocean's waves …

floating along with no care in the world.

As we hid inside of deep dark sea caves,

our eyes met softly, as blue waters swirled.

Kissing your salty neck, I held on tight

with loving thoughts....I drift to you again,

watching day's sun disappear into night,

knowing our true love's depth would never wane.

Beyond life, into your open arms I soar;

our souls entwine now ~ and forevermore....

This is a romantic poem, written with that dreamy sense of passion and surrender that can come from a woman's heart. 'Naked'... 'I surrender'.. 'Kissing your salty neck'.. Even 'Forevermore' is a romantic fantasy. But the words flow with smooth and soothing pleasure, caressing the reader and lifting us from the harsh world of reality to the delight that ought to be. I hope your muse, like your love for him, will never wane.

[Lisasview]

Oh gosh dear Jibey... I too hope my muse will never wane... I am about to put on another poem that you might enjoy... Nymph
Thank you for reading and reviewing...so few out there ever do...

It was a pleasure, Lisa

[Sami Khalil]

Howdy do Lisa in beautiful Spain...

[Lisasview]

Howdy do... made me laugh Sami...
Howdy do back..
All is well in paradise...
Lisa

[Sami Khalil]

Wow! Lucky you howdy do. Enjoy every moment. Life is short.

[Lisasview]

That life is short is so true... As we get older...well, at least for me I see how short it really is.. I always want to do so many things...But between working out. gardening, piano practice, writing poems, cooking, entertaining, spending time with my husband... oh yes and teaching watercolour classes on Zoom I never seem to have much time for anything else and I am not as young as I used to be...now at 74...but I am inspired by each day.. Right now I can hear the birds chirping outside of my window... I so love that sound.. Sound is so important...
Lisa, evening in Spain

[Sami Khalil]

I totally agree. You are welcome Lisa in Spain and not Pissa in Italy.

[Sami Khalil]

It has beauty. It has class. It has the classic feel. The journey of forevermore starts now. Your style is music to the ears. You are really soaring in love and poetry.

[Lisasview]

Wow, what a lovely thing to say dear Sami..
Thank you so much,
Lisa

[Sami Khalil]

My pleasure. I felt it. You are welcome Lisa in Spain.

[Lisasview]

I see so few Shakespearian sonnets. Pleasure, this one. Lovely place to have softly meeting eyes. So thank you, Lisasview.

[Lisasview]

So very nice to know you enjoyed my Rhyming Quatrain..not really quite a Sonnet... I did actually write a couple of Sonnets for example... Hand~In~Hand that you might like... It was the very first one I ever posted in my life for others to read.

[redzone]

a soft and deeply touching love poem Lisa, kudos....

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much...This is about thoughts of my own death...Weird but true..
Lisa, now in Spain

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

There's so much passion in this writing. We hid in deep-sea dark caves..." that line and everything to follow was so well chained together. Wonderfully explained and expressed poem. tyfs

[Lisasview]

Hi Cyprian,
I just noticed that I never thanked you for your lovely review... I really thought I had..so weird..
I feel very passionate about what I write...
This one was about thoughts of my own death... Not sure you read Innocence... quite different from anything I have ever written..
Lisa, on the computer in Spain

[Cyprian Van Dyke]

You're most welcome. Sorry for the late reply. I'm not on here that often.

Different is good. :)

[Lisasview]

I definitely believe that being different is good...

Lisa,

Having lost my wife of 49 years this past January, a beautiful girl and woman I had met and loved since she was 15 years old, this piece of your heart set to pen of page speaks to me in ways that I cannot voice, nor express, for the pain remains fresh as though I saw her dying just yesterday ... All I can say is that this poem is poignant and reaches right to my heart in its beauty and expression of undying love ...

Good morning dear Marvin,
Just up 6:30 here in Spain...and, reading your review..first one today. I am in tears as I feel your loss so deeply.
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my poem. Hope you will read more of mine... I think you might like Forever...similar title..but different..
Lisa, now in Spain

[Lisasview]

Marvin,
I just read your review to my husband and he too was moved deeply by your words...he got chills ...like me...We are so saddened by your loss...
Thinking of you,
Lisa

[Marvin Thomas Cox-Flynn de Graham]

Thank you so much, both you and your husband ...

[Lisasview]

You are most welcome

[Lathen Griffiths]

I absolutely adore your writing within this piece, Lisa from Spain, I was enthralled, but please put it in black on white , I truly feel it would add to the gravity of it, wouldn’t change your words of course though , wonderful as they are,

Lathen

[Lisasview]

Good morning Lathen,
I am so delighted that you adore my poem.
Your thoughts about the gravity of the poem being in black and white is interesting and I will think about it. My trademark if one calls it that, is an image in color with all my poems... but as I said I will consider your advice.
Thank you, Lisa, now early morning in Spain

[roarke]

Ah, in a word beautiful. The meter and rhyme very natural and fitting. The second stanza is my favorite.

[Lisasview]

Funny, I just responded to your response on your poem, and gave you a few poems I wrote that I thought you might like to look at and now I see that you have read Forevermore... Thank you so much for your read and review...I so appreciate it.

[andrew mitchell]

What the purists would say true poetry. A lovely piece of writing Lisa.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much Andrew,
Being new to submitting I decided to go the route of "True Poetry" I am working hard to understand how it works...a real challenge... but I love it..
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing.
