The Next Wave

 

Your last hopeful hug
and wave will wrap me warm,

go now…

as I spend the seconds,
              minutes,
          hours,
              days,
                    months
          or even years...
                          c 
                        a
                      s
                       c   
                         a
                           d 
                             i
                          n
                       g

watching the rain,
its ripples
in a puddle of sadness.

I will count
the summers of gloom
the springs of tears
the snowflakes of bitterness
the sunsets of darkness
the shadows of memories
as they lengthen and
shorten...
        in the absence of your sunlight.

I will watch waves
as they come towards the shore,
                breaking,
                breaking my heart,
as I see your vision
in very drop of  water
splashing against my skin,
kissing,
then leaving
like our last kiss.

I wait
......... . . . . .  .    .

for next wave
to come and caress my skin…

    I loved the message and the formatting. The stanza dealing with "the absence of your sunlight" was particularly moving. This is so gentle and loving and filled with emotion. I can't wait to see what you write in the next round. Peace, Liz

    masterpiece

    The photo is effective.
    This poem is so charged with heavy emotion...it almost brought tears to my eyes. Your structure is excellent and so appropriate to the theme. The alliteration is absolutely wonderful and very effective when read aloud. Well done. Very artistic.

    You have made a wonderful poem here, Lencio, in the shape and with the feel of a wave. It is very beautiful and has a sense of water gently rising to a crest and falling in keeping with the emotions. I love this poem, my friend. Am sending an applause and wishes for a trophy for you. blessings and peace, Joy
