Love Poem – By the sea
Photo credit: diciu from morguefile.com
By the sea,
She waits each day
The bride in her wedding veil
For him, who had promised
Her his love and his heart
Days pass by, months fly by
But she waits with hope
With tears that she wont allow
For she had promised him
By the sea
By the sea,
At dawn and dusk she would arrive
Her eyes on the horizon
Seeking to see what she most craved
Only to go back, disappointed and disheartened
But she would never give up
For as long as her heart continued to beat
She knew he lived
And so she came everyday
By the sea
By the sea,
He had claimed her his
With a soft tender kiss
“You are mine”, he had said
As he swept her off her knees
Love had blossomed on its shores
Like the flowers in spring
Carefree had been those days
Spent in each other’s arms
By the sea
By the sea,
With the brazen confidence of youth
The young hearts had not cared
They were soon made aware
That their best laid plans were of no avail
For fate had chosen a different path
One of heartache and pain
They had clung to each other
Until at last they had parted
By the sea
By the sea,
She made a million wishes
On every star, every night
A prayer to all the Gods
For his safe return, for the wait to end
Her heart filled with longing
Her body yearning, in remembrance
Of the passion they had often shared
Tempestuous and wild
By the sea
By the sea,
She remains, alone in her belief
Steadfast and unwavering
He will come back, one day
To claim his bride she says
“Till death do us apart”
Those were the vows that had been made
Her life pledged to his till her last breath
And so she continues her watch
By the sea
