Beyond the Sea

I hold your gift of love with tender hands
and travel the perils of life with you
we'll feel sighs and tears that life demands
when our souls find a sense of love so true
in a glow that welcomes a brighter dawn
to light this realm of our love's sacred ground
when honeyed lips kiss before we've gone
and break the silence with a breathless sound
as lovers, we meet on a wondrous shore
to cross the sea of faith with hearts aglow
on winds that fill our sails forevermore
as we bask neath' the sun where love will grow
we tack upon the sea that time will chart
with a promise, that we will never part

"on winds that fill our sails forevermore, we'll meet on a wondrous shore." This thought is beautiful, romantic and spiritual, all at the same time. Always being that close, never to part. That's exactly how it should be. Your thoughts caress softly around me and my heart. Congratulations Frederic, on Poem of the Week. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs, Brandy

Frederic, dear friend, dear poet, "beyond the sea", from here to eternity, the beauty of an endless love that transcends the ''perils of life" and the physical limitations of time, place and circumstance. A rich, deep inspiration for the heart and soul of a boundless romance only your golden pen can inspire. Congratulations for the grand honor of Poem of the Week! A distinction worthy and well deserved, dear friend, dear poet extraordinaire! Warmest wishes for a happy Thanksgiving.. ~Susan

“To cross the sea of faith” wow! The way you express is so soul touching and so beautiful.and to end it on a positive note too is so beautiful, i love reading romantic poems like this and you do that so very well. Clearly whoever that havent read your poems are missing out , because they flow in such soul stirring cadence with exquisite rhymes and imagery and descriptive diction. Pleasure reading you, goodluck for the contest. Sending you light always
