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, to your open arms I soar;

our souls entwine now ~ and forevermore....

Angels folding wings around each other, with feathers to spare. Ethereal. Words escaping me, like a sweet mist kissing memories that never fade. thank you for this write.
UPDATE! 2-23-24: I recently re-read your poem. I am sorry now that I completely missed the pacing of it, the subtle rhyming that I overlooked upon my first read. The ending so subtle and sensual. Beautiful. Thank you, sincerely.

Wow, the mere fact that somehow my poem stayed with you and prompted you to reread it is well, rather amazing... Did you read my authors notes about the poem? Basically it said that I wrote this about thoughts of my own death...Hope you will have time to read more. And, I am now going to read yours,

I like the first two lines...yes, we go out as we came in...or perhaps we hope to.
This could be a love poem written by my parents who were married 70 years and are together again now, wherever they are. Quite like it.

Wow, 70 years.. almost as long as I have been alive!! They must have been quite young? or possibly lived a long life. Love can extend your life..for sure.
Thank you for reading, reviewing and relating..

well, you asked for it so ya got it toyota
i am not one to read 'sappy love' poems (no offence meant), but this one, this one drew me in
the image you paint is indeed that of a thousand words
so many noteworthy lines ,,, including
'Upon death, to this earth I surrender …
for, my journey here with you is now done.'
i'm touched, thank you
