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! 🙂
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 🙂
Small one.
This is lovely, Val, just lovely. I am emotional this week, feeling tired, and this lulled me into a place of pause. 🙂 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.

Very moving. You do have a way with words. I am reblogging this on idealisticrebel. Hugs, Barbara
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. ❤
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. 😮
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. 😀 You are so good at capturing the essence of emotion.
Thanks Tess, I am glad you get something out of these.
