About This Poem

Across the Ocean

Across the waves, across the skies 
In the mornings with sleepy eyes  
Searching for someone before light 
Knowing my day will start out right 
When I’m with him, my spirit flies 

With no need to apologize 
Releasing all my heartfelt cries 
My soul inspired to take flight
Across the waves

My feelings, never minimized
The way they are with other guys 
Soaring along the highest height 
My view, a magnificent sight 
Wish one could hear contented sighs
Across the waves

    On the waves below the skies, are carried various sounds. But the sounds that need to abound, are the sounds of contented sighs. Nice one Becca, James :)

    Very touching excellent poem written by a very good poet. I saw that you view another poet named Margherita Russo she's only 14 and I know it would mean alot for her to have you read her newest poem if you have the time. Thank you very much.

    Lovely rondeau, and one of my favourite forms. I love the French forms. Ballade is also a form I adore. Have you tried the ballade? I think you'd really enjoy it! Hugs, Cyndi okay. this is WEIRD. My girl is 3. I was thinking, I haven't slept in 3 years. Then I go to fill in the captcha and it is 3YRS. Freaky! I think I am taking that as a sign to just go to bed. LOL.

    Hi Becca, I know very well your friend. He told me about you "she's so sweet ... elle est une merveilleuse femme au coeur rempli de générosité, de tendresse, d'amour. Elle pense toujours au autres comme si elle pensait à elle-même ... She's a wonderful Lady"

    I can very well relate to the feelings expressed. The other person should be really lucky and excited to receive such a sweet message. Thnx for your sweet visit, Becca! :) Jag

    Absolutely stunning tribute to your friend, my lady! My favorite part is the third stanza, I know how it feels to have feelings minimized- it is quite special when you find someone to treat you with sensitivity :)
