A stormy eve it was
when they had to part
She leaving him
by the deserted shore
He leaving her
by the raging waves
She making her headway
into the open arms
of a welcoming world
He heading back
to his clumsy shackles
which he called home
She promising to return
to his modest love
He vowing to receive her
with undying warmth
A stormy eve it is today
with a thousand waves lapping
against every moment that passed
between then and now
And once again he stands
by the deserted shore
still waiting
still modest
still shackled
still loving her
-Only, she is yet to keep her promise-
**Posted for Magpie Tales – Week 95. It’s been over two months since I’ve published anything on my blog, but today, the image at the Willow Manor totally inspired me!! Yaaaaaaaayy!! Thanks, Tess!! And yes… I’m sooooo glad to be back! **
Wow what a visual for an deep plough of thoughts!!! I would never have imagined the words came from this visual cue but seeing is believing so it is. The “force” works in mysterious ways indeed. Keep them coming o great one…
Gee.. thanks..

Will surely try to maintain the flow of words (keeping fingers crossed)
Beautiful poem,
aww.. thanks, my friend… glad you liked it..
Unrequited love…the saddest of all human conditions…love the poem.
Sigh.. it must be so tough… no? such undying love met only by rebuff…
Thanks for liking the poem, Charles.. you are such an encouraging soul, my friend…
Hello Martin Sir… Missed you from so long and its so nourishing to see u again…
Yours Loving,
–Shravan–
Its a blessing that u are able to write such hard romantic heart breaking poems even though u have got a totally opposite world living with u i.e a caring hubby at home….
Great and awesome use of words… Hope one day I too will be able to write such stuffs…
BY THE WAY A ROCKIN COME BACK…
hehehe..thanks, Shravan.. very nice of you to say that.. I am flattered!
Its not a flattery ma’am… See the pics of ur family yourself… A pic is worth a million words…

Thanks for stopping by, my good friend.. and yea, I am very well indeed… Hope you are well yourself!
Glad you liked the (super dubious) lines here…seriously, I have been running short of ideas to write! So I thought I should check Magpie Tales for inspiration, and lo-behold! There it was! Inspiration…right before my eyes…

Aww… thanks a heap, Tekia! And I saw your comment on my previous post about a wonderful gift you have for me… I am yet to see it, but thanks a million in advance, my dear friend! That really is very kind of you… Despite my laziness, you have been so very patient with me, and I really appreciate that gesture, sweetie… Mwaahhzz and Hugs for you!
Your fans like me somehow appeared to be waiting for your write just like the man here.. and you are back.. so will she…somehow when one waits for love… time is of no essence… if it has to come back, it will and even the eternity won’t matter… may be a few lives here and there.. God bless!!! Welcome back.. you were missed..Kavita…. Thanks RS : )
Oooohhh..that’s like the sweetest compliment I have ever received as a poet, Rameshji.. thank you ever so much!!! And I am soooooo glad to be back in the company of such wonderful people as yourself… See you very soon at your writing haven, my dear friend and inspiration..
Great poem of two opposite souls. Nice to see you again.
