Azure Bay

Missing image
Whispers of love
drift along on karmic waves

searching for my ears
in which to empty the words
they conceal

sealed with a kiss
from your adoring lips

you still remain
at the forefront
of my consciousness

sitting alone
in this grand azure bay

your whispers of love
find me and gently
fill and caress my soul

even though it's many moons
since you crossed the evening tide

your love I still embrace
and your ring I'll always wear

and now as I prepare
to say goodbye to this azure bay

I'm sending my own whisper
of love and appreciation
to your home beyond the waves.


Author notes

written based on feeling there was someone sitting in that lovely bay, thinking about a love that had passed from this life.

    Daddy I got the chills from reading this poem.. and I want you to know that hasn't happened in a long time. death is hard on a loved that has been left behind. memories are often all that remains, but those memories are what keeps them alive in their loved ones heart.
    I believe that love lives on past death and into the next world.. until we are united with the ones that we love.
    I love this poem, the imagery is very strong & powerful enough to affect me. I could see myself sitting there..
    Congratulations on the Gold Trophy Daddy..

    I Love You

    Well, done. This sounds like a widow who has lost their life partner and is grieving over their loss. Lovely memories of the past, which to never forget.

    You did delve deep into the ocean, and your poem surfaced with a wonderful story of love between the waves. Good luck to you in the contest.
