Raul Moreno Poet Free verse

She Waits...

Perched on an altar of stone,
Enduring the weather of time.
	She waits...

A marble heart laments,
Sorrow...forever etched...as,
	She waits...

Her eyes filled with a glimmer of hope,
Embracing her lonely stand.
	She waits...

Immortal expressions of yearning,
Shaded by the garish sun...as,
	She waits...

For a moment...happiness embraces her, 
As she gazes at a seagull on her arm...while,
	She waits...

Facing a familiar horizon,
Profound longing radiates the cold sea...as,
	She waits...

James Fraser January 17, 2010 at 2:38 PM Excellent free verse Raul to a wonderful statue in Opatija, Croatia. I had the pleasure of being there in 1987 before the Balkans War >> if you ever get a chance to go to Croatia, garb it, its just gorgeous there, and hardly touched during the conflict >> James
