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....

One of your finest works, Lisa🍷

Whoever said sadness and death have no beauty, never read this.
It was great working together with you in formulating this creatively gorgeous piece.

Many memorable blessings shared … thank you always, Ma'am! ⁓ Richard🖌

Hi Richard,
Great to get a review from you. This is one of my most favorite poems I have written.
Of course I have been thinking of you….and even more in the past couple of days.
My plan was to message you… and, and I will…

"Forevermore" is more suitable than "moments" for this poem dear Lisa, good choice that You changed the title. as for me, my favorite verse is the second one, along the ending couplet. for me this verse makes me feel of the special "moments" You were telling me about, the love, the warmth, the depth and home of these moments. lovely, and tenderly touching like always :> (P.S, The art is amazing, fading blurry flowers...)

[Lisasview]

Hi there,
Yes, Moments just did not feel tight and Forevermore works..but I just realized today that I have a poem titled Forever..ah well...
I thought of this poem when reading one of yours and thought you might like it.
Thank you for your alway beautiful review..
Really appreciate your lovely thoughts,
Lisa, just finished lunch...in Spain

[lightsong]

Even though You have another poem titled Forever it is not a problem I like your title here as I've said it suites your poem. I hope You had a nice lunch :>

Sensual writing that glides along. Easy reading on the eyes that soothes the romantic senses. A most enjoyable read.

[Lisasview]

Good morning Duff,
Thank you so much for your lovely review... Although I have been writing poetry for a very long time I only started posting it about 4 months ago..and, out of the blue about 2 months ago I began writing sensual poetry for the very first time... I have bo idea how this happened but it did.. There are several more you might like.

[duff]

You're welcome Lisa and i definitely will be reading more.

[Lisasview]

Sounds great..thank you Duff

[Gee]

So well written Lisa and the first four lines have me green with envy that it was you and not me that thought and wrote that stanza. So good
Hope you are both well.

[Lisasview]

Wow, Gordon..what a lovely thing to say..
This little poem just flowed out of me..Which works best for me..
Thank you so much for reading and reviewing,
Lisa, 7am in Spain

I too find lavender calming, the scent not the touch. The thought of being naked on a bed of scratchy lavender, well not me thank you. Blessedly, that was my only quibble. I found the poem poignant and moving. I will probably never look forward to death as I will probably never lie naked in lavender, but reunion? There we have the calming fragrance of forevermore as you have so well expressed.

[Lisasview]

I use quite a bit of metaphors in my writings..
I am not literally lying on a bed of lavender...
Anyway, I do appreciate that you read my poem and left a review.

Granted, most of my itch is only metamorphically scratched.

[Lisasview]

Okay.......

A most moving poem Lisa. Love does not die with the death of one of the partners. My sis lost her husband last year, she tells me that the bond is stronger. What she might have taken for granted has now become even more precious. So many beautiful memories to fall back on. Really nicely composed and your posted artwork in shades of purple, very much to my liking. Lavender is so calming.

[Lisasview]

Thank you so much Chris.. This is another of those that just came to me.. Right now I am struggling bit with writing.. Probably just too busy with my life..
Lisa, waiting for the plummer and contractor...such is life

[Chris Shaw]

Life does have a habit of getting in the way at times. Hope you get all your "stuff" done soon. I know how you feel. I too am finding it difficult to find time for the things I like :)

[Lisasview]

I know that is so silly of us...we just be doing what we love..but I have so much I like to do..and as you say "stuff' gets in the way..

[sonnie ibadah]

"watching day's sun disappear into night,
knowing our love's depth would never wane.."
This is so touching. Undying love is such a beautiful thing.

[Lisasview]

Yes, and as our lives float by we only can hope that we find love and carry it with us.
Thank you for your lovely review Sonnie...

What stuck with me here, at this reading, is the tenacity of reaching out and extending toward an expected receiver at the end, to reunite and to be received into each other's presence, on another plane of existence: the meeting of eyes, the kissing, the drifting toward, and going into open arms then entwining. There are true connections in our earthly lives. How fortunate for us should we find it and nurture it into forevermore. Thanks for sharing. /Frederick.

[Lisasview]

Thank you for understanding the meaning of my poem Frederick.
