PLACED  FIRST

Love Never Lost

I walk alone on the beach, 
Emerald waves rise and fall, lapping on the sandy shore, 
So many beach-lovers walk together,
Their faces beaming with love and adoration, 
I walk alone on the sand barefoot,
Collect shells of unique sizes and shapes, 
I converse with you about the roaring sea, 
The whistling wind, the multi-coloured sand, 
you are far away, but
You are with me. 

Years and years passed away listlessly, 
Struggles in our life did not let us be together, 
A love so strong, and powerful, 
I see you in my dreams, 
And nothing else matters. 

I paint on my easel with a wistful heart, 
Sceneries of long-lost past,
As if we lived in a fantasy, 
The little quaint village we grew up in, 
The ambrosial garden we frolicked around, 
The magical swing we shared and 
The favourite books we pored over. 

Your love pulls me to a dreamy past, 
Tender days which will never be erased,
Solitary life at present remains serene with your thoughts,
Future is undetermined, life will choose its course, 
Only I know wherever you are, you are mine.

The emphasis is that love is a constant spiritual companion, suggesting a bond that transcends physical distance and time. Ultimately, the permanence of an internal connection proves that love can be a destination in itself, even without a shared physical path.

This year I did not write much. I was focusing on the memoir-writing project. But when I find some topics I really want to write about, I try - not always very happy with the result. Thank you so much, Sara, for reading my humble poems.
