If Not For Love

Delicate and fragile our

dreams have become Yet!

You've always been there

even during wildest storm,

as sound of gales remind

me of crashing waves.

 

Remembering treading

endless roads and lanes,

leading to clifftop hikes?

Our memories are treasured

like those surging shorelines

walked through frothy white,

 

skimming pebbles

in smiling coves,

observing whiplash

upon Cornish rocks:

 

fishing boats anchored,

bobbing freely, anxious

to be away as gulls wing

their way on breezes...we

too with such freedom fly.

 

Now those concealed shadows dim,

curtains will never close on the flame;

they will always burn extra bright

for you my darling Valentine.

 

To the one I love who is my soul mate.

sweet sentiments, Jenny, not quite valentine's day yet, but everyday is when you're with that special person.

Hi Shackleton,

the I P this week had me remembering those days when me and my partner would walk along the coastline of Cornish cliffs, and the small bays where we'd search rock pools. We were young and running free, life was such a big adventure. I'm glad you liked.

Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts

Jenny.

Lovely memories of exploring the winds and waves of the coast, enjoying each other's company and sharing comradeship. Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

they were certainly memorable moments that were full of adventure in those wide open spaces.

That storm had me reminiscing with its wildness and got me thinking of the I P.

I'm so pleased you liked and thank you for letting me know.

Jenny.

What a lovely Valentine present ! All your memories for someone who stays with you, in storm or calm, your poem showing love can be both wide sunlit breezy beaches and cosy firelight, both holding light and warmth

It's always nice to hear from you Di.

Yes my partner has stuck by me through many storms and has been there for me, for that I shall always be grateful.

Thank you so much for your lovely words and for reading.

Jenny.
