Notes About The Poem

 

Joseph Rodefer DeCamp

Farewell I Go To Dwell

Under the awaking dawn
I sit, tracing the sea's yawn
Of innumerable sand grains,
Swell waves without reins.

Light scattering, exciting risin
Reflections off the horizon
The lull breeze caress silence
Like your arms once presence

Held me tightly in its embrace.
Tho, I still, you I chase.

Bragging to the stars I dwell
The last time I saw you- Farewell,
I said against you I did whisper
In a faint whimper.


Your last kiss
I do miss

Dear Eve, Following Angela's suggestion, I also read it backward and it's beautiful both ways :) I love "swell waves without reins." Congratulations!
