"You can always close a book, but you can never close the mind of a writer."


It was at that place by the sea,
that I met him and he met me.
And the sun always shone on the sand
as we ran together hand in hand.

It was at that place by the sea
that I left him and he left me.
Because we were meant to sail away
until we would meet again someday

It was at that time when I missed the sea
that I thought of him and he thought of me.
And I closed my eyes and saw the time
when I was his and he was mine.

It was at that second when I smelled the sea
that I missed him and he missed me.
Because even though we were miles apart
I could always feel him in my heart.

It was at that minute when I heard the sea
that I longed for him and he longed for me.
So I fell to the ground and gravely cried
that we would end up side by side.

It was at that time when I saw the sea
that I called for him and he called for me.
So I set out on my quest to find
my lover I had left behind.

It was at that place by the sea
that I saw him and he saw me.
And when I was finally in his hold,
all our love began to unfold.

It was at that place by the sea
that I loved him and he loved me.
Our love was pure, our heart was one
and we lived together in the land of the sun.

It was at that place by the sea
that we had met our destiny.
And together we lived on happily
loving each other for eternity.

This piece actually isn't written about any particular guy in my life. I wrote it to express how it feels to leave someone behind, then the feelings of being reunited. Enjoy :) oh and please comment

"There is in truth no past, only a memory of the past. blink your eyes, and the world you see next did not exist when you closed them. Therefore the only appropriate state of the mind is surprise. The only appropriate state of the heart is joy. The sky you see now, you have never seen before. The perfect moment is now. Be glad of it."
~Terry Pratchett

instant favorite here. I definitely can see the Poe inspiration here, but I really admire the way you managed to get the rhyme just right, so the last stanza was all the same. Oh, not to mention that this is beautiful in the extreme.

From the start it reminded me of one of my favorite poems, Annabel Lee by Edgar Allen Poe. Were you by any chance inspired by that poem when writting this? It's a lovely peice! Well both are great, your poem is like the happy version of Poe's poem!:)

This is really nice. I think the rhyme scheme adds a sort of...I don't know how to explain it. Like this poem was written by an Oldie But A Goodie like Lewis Caroll, or even William Wordsworth.

The truth is that at some point, everyone's going to hurt you. You just have to decide who's worth the pain.

Some say having something to lose is what makes you vulnerable. I believe that having something to lose only makes you stronger.

One word: Wonderful.
