"You and I"- A poem about a tragic love affair.

The sky, so clear like blue velvet, Reflects upon the tranquil waters. Dewdrops, like tears of joy, Run down the petals of flowers. The brook makes a gurgling reply To the calm silence that surrounds it. The water trickles ever so softly, Not disturbing the ambiance one bit. The sea embraces her lover, the shore. She moans as they embrace tightly. The shore's aim is to please his beloved And ensure their destiny. The world …

…I am packing my bags and luggage; I am going to run away today. Never again will I give my love away, For it hurts too badly to realize, That everything you hoped for could be Taken away and replaced by dead eyes. Your spirit shall stay in my heart, As the days, weeks and years go by. I shall grow to be an old, old woman And I'll still think about you and I.
