Her pale wan cheek is tear's abode
Inside her heart a heavy load
and on the shore she waits alone
She stands as fixed as granite stone
T'was on that spot she lost her love
and seeing not the storm above,
allows the rain and wind to cut
it's thrust into her body; but
her heart is ashen, dead to all
and will not rise, lest lover call
Gone, memories, forevermore!
He left her for a distant shore
So now she stands the evening long
and drinks full in his last swansong

Thank you sweet poet!
I do love writing in this story telling style and it often lends itself well to song lyrics.

ohhh. . .what a sad poem! and very mysterious and lovely. . ."Her pale wan cheek is tear's abode" "and seeing not the storm above,/allows the rain and wind to cut/it's thrust into her body; but" - my favorites. . .a question about L10: "less lover call" doesn't make sense to me. . .well done, poet, i like very much
oh by the way, thanks again for your wonderful comment on my poem
