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 felt a gratitude for life and acceptance of death… the “circle” gently closing.

It was a soft and gentle floating read. Thank you for the creation and for sharing your work.

Hi there Scott,
I really appreciate that you took the time to read this one. This is about my own death...strange, yes...but that is what I felt when I wrote it..

A breathtakingly beautiful poem, dear Lisa!
I marvel at how efforlessly every line melts into the other with sheer imagery.
Your words gently whisper, caress your reader and they never want the magic to stop.
The message is equally beautiful and I strongly believe in soul mates and love beyond life.
The artwork used and the presentation of the poem on the page is exquisite.
Kudos!

Love is an eternal concept. For love to end because our form transforms is illogical. This is a beautiful poem with a beautiful message.

[willweb]

An absolutely beautiful poem of love. This was smooth and carried its own melody. Wonderfully written.

This poem is beautiful. Pure emotion, a celebration of life's grandeur, an understanding and appreciation of its cycles, and the acceptance of an obligatory farewell.

Hi JD,
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing my rhyming quatrain poem. I love your great impression about my words...This poem is about thoughts of my own death...

No, do not be sorry... I woke up one morning with these thoughts and wrote them down. And, they are good loving thoughts.
