Love Lost Never Forgotten

The lull of the waves gently swayed admidst,
a tranquility so peaceful as a butterflies kiss.

Her hair shone brightly, though eyes seemed lost,
the chill in her heart; she tried desperately to toss.

As the sand felt harsh beneath tender toes,
her cheeks damp with tears, she searched in her soul.

Far out to sea, beyond green rolling hills,
she longed for joy; to be fulfilled.

Her body quivering, saying, hold on tight,
the brown eyed beauty cried out in the night.

With her heart beating strong, her head held high,
this was the moment she must say goodbye.

To have loved and lost, she will never forget,
as the the lull of the waves gently swayed admist.

With lips so soft, she blew a kiss to his ashes;
then the the brown eyed beauty released her true passion.

A beautiful, sad poem, Lynn; lovely imagery...you manage to bring the reader alongside this heartbroken woman, on the beach where her lover's ashes are washed away by the waves. ~ Regards // paul

A strong write with great imagery. The first stanza is really good.
