Across the Endless Sea

[rhymetime]

Across the Endless Sea



Light for me a candle

and place it in thy window.

That I might see thy love for me,

from far across this endless sea

that separates our hearts.



Pick for me a yellow rose

and place it in thy hair.

That I might catch the scent of thee,

from far across this endless sea

that separates our hearts.



Play for me a song of love

upon thy golden harp.

That I might hear a lover’s plea,

from far across this endless sea

that separates our hearts.



Take from me my offered heart

and hold it to thy breast.

That I might thine forever be.

Though far across this endless sea

that separates our hearts.

Very nice rhymetime. A very convincing love letter to your princess across the sea.

I like this rt. It is tender and has that centuries old sensibility you intended.
As a reader, however, I like it even more when I read out the last line of each verse.

Beautiful words. I love the archaic word usage that makes this seem like a poem of old. I am left wondering what the endless sea is though. My feeling is "time" but I'm not sure that entirely fits the sensory words in the full stanzas.

Thank you for taking time with my verse. Most of what I write is what it says it is. I'm not good at encryption. I hope the reader will make it what it needs to be for them. I suppose it could be distance or time. For me it is a mariner of old who may never make it home and longs to know that someone will always be waiting and watching. Yeah, I'm a romantic

Thanks to both of you. When I grow up I want to be Emily Dickinson. Of all the poetry ever written the romantic and classical carries my heart.

[AlexandratheLate]

Very lovely use of words and lyrical rhymmetime.

[rhymetime]

Thanks so much

I love this. clean, graceful, and true.

[rhymetime]

I truly appreciate your kind words about and time taken to write them

This is lovely!
I'm a romantic too, but for some reason I strongly dislike most love songs/poems/romantic movies. I think I find them cliché or forced or unrealistic or something. But this is one touched my heart and hugged my soul Many likes!
