U MBRELLA furled - in you own little world
M esmerised - waiting on the sea shore
B earing the pain - braving the rain
R eady for love when he comes home once more
E arly or late he holds your fate
L onging to see him - home from the sea
L onging to hold him - if he's late don't scold him
A lways accept - what will be will be !
G rey is the sky - cold is your heart
I n slence you waited - as boats went and came
R elishing meeting you long absent lover
L ooking and hoping but waiting in vain !
Thanks for reading - please comment - Thanks BRIAN

- Comment from author about the poem: Throughout our lives this is something we all experience Men & Ladies - Young & Old waiting patiently - waiting expectantly for someone who never came. When we do experience it it is a hurt that never goes away and leaves a big WHAT IF ? In our hearts. I love poems that spring out of a picture - do you - BRIAN

Lovely and sensitive acrostic. Also written cleverly. ~ Sonia
Thanks SONIA for a very encouraging comment. I am a bit old fashioned but I think poetry should have both structure and substance ! Also "Love Poems" should always contain an element of "sensitivity" Yours BRIAN
I'm curious, were you inspired by the picture? Or did you just find the perfect image to go with your work? I'm often inspired by images or (more often) songs so it's always interesting to see what inspires other people. It's lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your question JAB ~ Which came first the chicken or the egg ? There is a symbiosis between ART & POETRY and ART & MUSIC. Stranger on the Shore was a haunting clarinet solo by Aker Bilk and listening to it pained a picture in my mind which conjured up a poem. So there were three elements. Stranger on the Shore is a sad haunting tune and I was not looking for a picture in particular but that one popped up and completed the circle. I could have called it Stranger on the Shore ~ That will bw tomorrows POEM. Sad Love poems are always lovely ~ thanks. Yours BRIAN
