Kp Nunez Poet Free verse

Too Late

Pitch black is the night there is no moon in sight
while she's standing there with the sea’s tangy air 
silently inhaling, her raven hair cascading 
alone by the shore, pensive, like before.

However tonight, you won't be by her side
to lose yourself again in the pools of her eyes
neither will you open any door to her mind
as she valiantly saves what remains of her pride.

You will never know how many times she has read 
your words she longed to hear, yet remained unsaid
'til they came too late, for she, too weary with the wait
has now laid your love on the seaside catacomb's bed.

John Fleming September 6, 2015 at 1:15 PM Hello, Kim. Your much welcome visit prompted a return visit from myself. I intended to pay my respects to you last week but, as usual, got side-tracked into other demands that ate into my time. I truly did enjoy this poem of yours. So much so that i can unhesitatingly award it a much deserved seven...Very nicely conceived and executed! :) john P.s I have been working on an epic poem for several months. It is now up to 35 verses, I reckon it will amount to 40 - 45 by the time it is complete!
