come on in

dusk arising

 

daughter of a rich man
took my heart and set me free
just a walk away
my last futures day
we were footsteps on the beach

 

        so come on in the waters lovely
        so come on in, not too deep
        let me be the one discovery
        come on in,  come on in
        uncover me

 

she stepped on tongues
of young men's glances
with the grace of all was meant to be
but when the sun went down
she made all of me
       (all i'd ever be)  whispered

 

     so come on in the waters lovely
     so come on in to where is deep
     let me hold embrace you gently
     come on in, come on in
     make love with me

 

through the tall grass
she still whispers
where they found her, so they say
an evening star shall never set now
and tide will never wash away

 

     so come on in, her waters lovely
     so come on in above my head
     and i will love you now forever
     come on in, no don't you come
                 but oh i long to, oh how i miss you

      You'd think i'd lost a lover in the long grass wouldnt you. I just find it odd how i wrote this because it went places i hadn't intended it to.

      • Goldfinch60

        Those words often go that way for me as well d a.

        Yes, come on in, said a certain church - the waters lovely. Rich? No problem. Join us and you'll soon be broke. Doh!
        But not ALL churches.

        Lady was filled with magic
        What a wonderful sight
        Is it her beauty or the beholder who holds the beauty
        Such beautiful pearls you stringed together dear poet
        So poetic and lovestruck
        Very romantic dear Dusk

          Pure imagination and a few of life's experiences sewn in along the way to eek it out a bit. Thank you spiller.

            The flame of a love still lingering shall never be extinguished, and in words so poemed will always linger on.

            • dusk arising

              Pure fiction but i did involve myself emotionally when writing it as I always try to do. Thanks SureshG

              Magical write....

              • dusk arising

                The magic is in the reader Lorna, a piece either sparks something inside or it doesn't. Quite a lot of people read my stuff and leave no comment so I imagine they didn't feel any magic.... Maybe my style doesn't suit a lot of readers.
                Thank you for your super succinct comment though.... always appreciated.

                I love the flow of this piece, so beautifully woven! I love it!

                • dusk arising

                  Thank you Garth. Sometimes a piece just falls out of your fingers onto the keyboard, this one though was surprisingly awkward to write. I'd left it alone for a long time before initially posting it and i'm still not completely happy with it..... maybe one day i'll subject it to some surgery LOL.
