Terrell Martin Poet I do not know?

Notes About The Poem

I wrote this for my wife, Minnie while attempting to imulate (copy) the form from the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron.  If anyone knows the name of this form - please share it and thanks for your assistance and/or critical review.  Terrell Martin

Your Endless Lighthouse Beam

I miss you more than sky is blue
     Piercing sunlight from beyond;
Days made old and mind anew
     My weariness like a song:
When up is down too many few
     Tightropes when you’re gone.

Needing you more than oceans deep
     Currents in the flow;
Wide awake or drifting sleep
     Lying in pure snow:
If I should die my soul to keep
     Wherever you may go.

Remember me when I have sailed
     To that far away world of dreams;
Think well of me though I have failed
     From time to time it seems:
While upon my ship I’ll man the rails
     In search of your endless lighthouse beam.

Elizabeth Wesley September 21, 2011 at 7:13 PM I love it Terry, the trip is full of sad magic and that world of dreams just seems to be beyond the grasp. PS Your visits are always so special and people like you inspire me to keep writing. Terrell Martin October 3, 2014 at 7:06 AM Liz, it's ALWAYS a special gift hearing from you and I do hope this finds you well. I've been busy trying to keep head above water since returning home to Tampa from Egypt last year and I find it more difficult to focus on poetry these days. But thank you for dropping in and owe you a visit as well. Peace dear friend:) Terry
