Storm

sitting on the sand

head resting in hand

single tear rolling down my cheek

staring out at the sea

drowning in what will never be

tumultuous waves mirror my soul

biting wind so bitter

lip begins to quiver

heart aches to feel your warmth

tide lapping to and fro

unsure which way to go

internal storm ferociously raging

 

clouds cover the sun

as I turn to you and run

away from this storm I'll be free

What is a lover?

Thank you Joan (@joangillen) for inviting me to participate in the #PoemUpChallenge!
A lover is many different things to many different people. Here are a few of my thoughts...
~

A lover is a friend.
Someone who shares your laughter, dries your tears
stands with you as you face your fears.

A lover is an angel.
Someone who travels to the depths of your darkest mind
takes your hand, leading you into the light

A lover is a poet.
Someone whose words make your spirits soar
uplifts your heart, transforms your soul.

A lover is an artist.
Someone who paints your flesh with the heat of desire
every caress setting your canvas on fire

A lover is a guide.
Someone who leads you to unknown ecstasies
explores hidden passions, fulfils your fantasies.
