For My Love, At Sea

in the breeze, the beach grass waves--
but can only stay;
in the breeze, the lake waves move--
but can only leave;
and always,
the light.

my dearest heart, i can only love you--
by snow, by summer,
by day, by night;
my devotion and this poem, yours alone--
whether it is wise,
whether it is right;
and always,
the light.

  5. The grass and water in waves - an ebb and flow, a light to guide and a constant heart... deep sigh...

    These words go straight to the top of my "One Day A Tattoo" list:

    my dearest heart, i can only love you--
    by snow, by summer,
    by day, by night

  8. Shay--Your poems---whether they are love poems or not---are a constant source of pleasure and pain (envy) for me.

  9. It is what it is, indeed. Another softly tender poem of the heart, and there can never be too many of those; each one coming from you is as individual as a snowflake.
