I slumbered in deep wells near the sea, lulled by the steady crash of waves;
Surrounded by darkness and silence;
Sometimes the tides pulled me to life, towards the surface;
Sunlight sparkling off shale and polished sand;
The moon overhead covered me in silver, the nights chill deepened my slumbering heart;
The glitter of stars against a night sky sent me back into my well;
I wrapped my mantle across my shoulders and against the chill;
My victorious, imprinted on skin the monsters chained outside;
My warrior princess fierce in her guardianship of my heart.
Then you reached down and whispered, remember Cara;
Love awaits, roll away the stones piled high and remember;
I said no, sputtered, then silent then yes.
How did you do that to my shattered self with just remember.
Then you said laugh, I adore you and I believed never questioning.
You asked, will you know and I said no and then I hope and then yes.
Then you said, I am broken and I said so am I, together we are whole;
In my long slumbering heart I dreamed of you forever;
Then you reached down and said;
Remember Cara and I did.
That was just brilliant! ๐
Thank you. I am so glad you like it.
I love the flow of this piece of writing Val, it
is one that speaks out and shines so brightly.

I love this, Val. I love the name, Cara. It’s all so sensual. Nice.
Thank you Monica, it is a rather nice pet name.
Seems like you heart has a spring in its step ๐
Small one.
This is lovely, Val, just lovely. I am emotional this week, feeling tired, and this lulled me into a place of pause. ๐ XOXO-Kasey
Kasey, thank you. I am glad you were lulled. The inspiration for it, makes me peaceful.
I had shivers by the end of the poem. Remembering and sending love.
Thanks Christy, this was inspired.
Beautifully written!
Thank you.
Deep and profound images. I like the way you write your poetry. Pauses to make me stop for a moment, grab a thought to think a bit before going to the next line. Lovely, Barbara.
Thank you Barbara, I am happy others read what I write and are both drawn in and thoughtful.

“….together we are whole….”
Very true – together, lovers make one another – whole!
You have a knack for reaching deep with your poetry. I really like the symbolism of tides and life. Well done!
Thanks Frank. Symbolism, is all part of it.

Thank you Barbara.
Brilliant!
Thank you.
This grabbed me, “You asked, will you know and I said no and then I hope and then yes.”
I like the hesitation, the thoughtfulness and then the response. Sounds like an awakening to me. โค
Indeed, awakening and then some. Always no, then stuttered yes and then yes without hesitation and no take backs.
I like this one a LOT. ๐ฎ
Thank you, I am so glad. I do also actually.
I’m clapping for both of us; for me when I get something out of the poetry–am on the right track. ๐ You are so good at capturing the essence of emotion.
Thanks Tess, I am glad you get something out of these.
