Catelyn Meeker Poet Rhyme

Corner of My Eye

On a sleepless night you spoke
To me, and I wasn’t wearing your topaz ring
Anymore, anymore.

It was on the tip of my tongue; I loved 
You once but
No more, no more. 

Eyes like ocean mists and chestnut locks,
Almost a decade since I’ve touched your
Ivory skin so say cruel clocks. 

Tears tasting like salt in a sea of regret
Splashing against a distant shore. 
Once you stood there waiting but
No more, no more.

John Gondolf August 21, 2020 at 10:47 AM "Tears tasting like salt in a sea of regret" this line hold much sadness. I must say though, after ten years, it's time to move on. Nicely written, Judith. Hugs, John

Richard Evans August 2, 2020 at 4:56 PM This poem mirrors a dream I had. My dream was like ocean current that was constantly "splashing against a distant shore". That line was my connection which is all a good poem needs to do. Thanks for sharing...............peace! Richard Evans August 3, 2020 at 2:47 PM Years ago I was in a bookstore and discovered Anne Sexton. About an hour later I discovered Ms. Plath. These two great writers showed me that poetry is so much more than just form. Catelyn Meeker August 3, 2020 at 10:34 AM Yes, I love Sylvia Plath. I have many of her works.
