[hometext] => I was sitting by the sea admiring its mystery.Then this popped into my head.........a kind of love story.
[bodytext] => Always with the cooler breeze of afternoon she would appear His racing heart skipped a beat as she surfaced from the waves Barely a ripple as she swam into view Always furthest from the safety of the shore Something mysterious, intriguing, intoxicating Led him like a ritual to the water's edge He could never venture closer for one simple fact Beset too much with childly ills he had never learnt to swim Now his destiny blocked by a barrier of blue She too seemed locked out of his deepest reach Beguiling beauty, the prisoner of the sea Though far away he felt the yearning passion in her eyes This one clear day she did not come After midnight storm had vented her anger on the sea Snarled her white teeth against the mighty rocks Now it was calm, waves merely caressed Eeriness pervaded, a heavy curtain of still A seabird broke the silence as it swooped along the beach Set against white sand, pale and still The face he recognised but puzzled by the form Part of land yet strangely part of sea Mermaid lay serene like an angel sleeping For one cold heart the other sank like a heavy stone Hope smashed to pieces, threads of dreams all torn Tenderly he gathered her in the safety of his arms Walked her slowly back to where he knew they must depart Though she could not return the kiss He felt the urge to give it as a parting gift As the water crept up to his waist He realised he could go no more From his cradle he released her Waves like reaching arms seemed to carry her away Back to the depths from where she came A vow he made there, a pledge to return Though the beauty now would always be less the beauty of one Slowly sinking to her watery grave [comments] => 3 [counter] => 193 [topic] => 2 [informant] => puppy_dog_eyes [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => LovePoetry )

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. ©
