Be Mine

I sit by the window motionless Looking at the sky getting darker Inside me a sea swells, tides of memories Beat my heart, the only keepsake I have. Like a thick shelled oyster, tightly spliced You sealed your heart to me barring entry Wonder what currents flow through your sinews? And what eddies churn and gyrate within? Do the thoughts of our love linger there? Does my image, to your memory ever return? Do you recall how we stood silent beneath the stars? How we then built an epoch in a glance! Once life moved with lilting measure From goblets, we quaffed the bubbling liquid Everyday a new song was thrummed upon life’s harp What passion, what youth, what thrill we shared then We so loved as no one had ever loved Like a phantom I followed you behind To you alone my heart, as offering I gave Never suspected any force to tear us apart But how Fate waited swift to smite And how we had to part in anguish Toppling down the sand castles we built Leaving a heap of debris behind Will you once more open your heart? Will I again find entry and nest within? Will I be able to douse my smoldering pain? Will you return that I can claim you ever as mine own? Placed 10th 2.

Lost love must be a very popular subject but what makes this lost love outstand? The quality of written verse is of the highest degree. Imagery is astounding, my friend. You did very well. Best for a win.
