[hometext] => Swan was our pet name for eachother... long story.
[bodytext] => Yesterday morn I found myself walking
By a pond nearby my home There I saw a beautiful swan Swimming all alone There were ducks, geese, and others Though he didn’t fit among the rest He had this look of determination As if he were on a quest Without fear, he let me approach Close enough to look in his eyes I could see such hurt, such pain, And a heart, out of lonesomeness, cries I leaned towards him a bit closer Wondering why he seemed so glum To my surprise he spoke “I’ve lost my only one.” “Since she’s been gone I’m alone There’s no other I’d call mine I’ve lost my ability to fly And my feathers have lost their shine.” “I can’t tell you when I lost her Or even if she lost me Either way makes no difference It’s with her I need to be.” He paused for a moment and looked at me As if I were another in his way In the way of his hopes and dreams Of reuniting with his love someday I leaned forward to console him Though he shied away from my touch At that moment he continued “I miss her, oh, so much.” “If you’d ever seen us together You’d say they’ll never part. The way we swam beak to beak, Our necks formed the perfect heart.” “Swimming among the lilies Along the waters edge Sometimes I swear I see her Though it’s just a vision in my head.” “Now I spend my days searching Searching from dawn till dusk She’s my one true love, my companion I’ll search forever if I must.” “I hope one day she’ll return And swim with me like once before Till then I’ll search this pond for her For eternity, or even more.” Just then it occurred to me Though I hadn’t the heart to say I’d seen his love swimming with another In a pond across the way I lowered my head in sadness And when I looked up he had gone I’m sure he went to continue his search But eternity seems so long I will never forget that swan A beautiful creature, but so sad Holding onto all he has to offer To give only to the love he once had [comments] => 1 [counter] => 145 [topic] => 22 [informant] => MisterRight [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LostLove )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
