Alesia Leach Poet Couplet

Lover Lost

Silently, she stands upon the shore,
her heart broken at the very core.

Watching the storm rage over the sea,
but in her dreams, she longs to be.

Longing for her lover lost,
her weeping heart now pays the cost.

Now that sorrow her soul did touch,
his precious memories her mind does clutch.

Even his scent lingers in her mind,
and she wonders why life has been so unkind.

Tony Brady August 5, 2017 at 1:25 AM I like this poem a lot. The longing for lost love. The way that our memories and desire for someone is so much more pure and intensified when looking into the past. That love that you had seems so much better, the crystal ball does that. Good reads!
