STRANGER ON THE SHORE ~ BRIAN ~ A 6 6 6 2 Docdecet

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

THE STRANGER ON THE SHORE ! 

 

I LOVE THE SEA ~ and have mainly lived

On the COAST ~ East & West ! I love to stroll

Along the BEACH at Dawn & at Twilight.

Often Im alone and it is very .......

Therapeutic to listen to the roll

of the waves and the scrunch of the Shingle !

 

One day ~ ten years ago ~ in the Evening

At Yarmouth I saw a Young Lady in .......

A Long White Dress ~ A Stranger on the Shore !

She looked wistful & ephemeral as ........

She gazed out to Sea. When I spoke to her

She said "I am waiting for my Husband"

 

I continued to walk on and as I 

Looked back there was a huge wave drenching her

And out of the Sea a Young Man seemed to

Appear ~ took her arm and they disappeared

into the Sunset ! I was quite shaken 

And recounted ~ in the Hotel ~ what I had seen.

 

Ahhhh the Receptionist said ~ you saw Pearl 

Her Husband drowned  ~ On their Honeymoon last Year !     

    

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN  🧡🧡🧡

 

This poem is presented as a Blank Verse 6 6 6 2 DODECET

in iambic pentameter ~ 10 syllables per line  ~ OK

 

The story the Receptionist told me really made me cry

and I will remember it until the day I die ~ especially

because of what I saw. Pearl & Her Husband JAMES 

arrived late after their Wedding ~ they were tired and

spent most of the next day in Bed with Room Service.

In the evening they went down to the Beach were

James decided he wanted a swim. According to Pearl

he swam out of sight and never returned ~ His Body

was never found !  Pearl was heart broken and refused

to leave the shore ~ every evening calling out to James

I LOVE YOU ~ PLEASE PLEASE COME BACK HOME TO ME !

She didnt eat or drink and after three weeks they found

Her dead of a broken heart lying in the surf ~ RIP PEARL !

Many guests have reported seeing her Crying on the Shore !

    A sensitive write A&B. I'm gonna croon the song - bit old, from 1961! I duet with Andy Williams, who also sang it. Ohh, we do 'Moon River' too - sensible songs. No rubbish 'ere!

      Oh what a tragic happening and the tale you weave round it catches the breath - - a heart-tugging read Brian - -I love that number you chose to adorn the words too.

        BUENAS DIAS BRIAN : OSO GRANDE MIO. Loved the Video (very melacholy) and the Picture : but I found the Poem very sad and Im still crying ! I guess Pearl just wanted to die and be with James in Paradise for eternity ! Ive made a resolution that when we go to SPAIN on our Honeymoon (Easter 2020 !) you can swim in the POOL but NOT the SEA ! Mama Angela Rules ~ OK !
        Take care when Im not with you : no extreme sports : and no more bungee jumping for me ! Enjoy the Summer weather while it lasts same here : 21 C = 70 F
        Muchos Abrazos y Besos y Todo de Mi Amor
        ANGELA : SIEMPRE tu ANGEL 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡

          HOLA ANGEL ~ Sorry if my Poem upset you ! Others have also found it melancholoy ! It is a good thing if it makes us both take fewer risks ~ I only Bungee Jumped ONCE (never again) and Sea swimming is always a risk ! The story is very very sad but I know our Honeymoon will be SAFE & SPICEY in Sevilla. I must be careful not to drink too much Rioja (Brewers Dr**p !). It will be March on FRIDAY so only three weeks before we are together again for our South Island Paradise ~ AMEN.
          Abrazos y Besos en abundancia y siempre
          Todo de Mi Amor tambien !
          Tu Oso Grande y Amorado ~
          BRIAN ! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
