I’ll never tire of the tides
Like a day renews itself so then do the tides
as day by day nothing changes in the flowing
There is a message therein if we listen
and take to heart for the knowing
Death or life which is it to be
once a fate has been so chosen
The tides then will redeem us
though those great northern seas lie frozen
I visit this shore day after day after day
I watch for the tides at all hours
Like the many many memories of love
they are mine and they are yours
Yes my love I will hold you once again in
the eternities in the hereafter
Until that day remember ….remember
all the touching all the laughter
Around the base of the foamy piers
along the silken sands of our favorite shore
where once we laid and we played in love
we will walk again once more
Until that day I may walk alone until that day
I may have visions but not regret
forgive that man that whispers softly as he stands alone
for these tides will never forget
That two hearts are required for the perfect love
as two tides are needed for a day
as we will meet again my love
And the tides will show the way

Beautiful. Your verse is very touching, heart-warming, Ed. Great work.
Thanks Phyllis , lately , I’m feeling more poetic but less poetically articulate !…………….Oh well , I’ll just keep um coming !
Lovely work Ed, an emotive romantic piece well constructed and penned. Really enjoyed it my friend.
Beautiful poem, two hearts required, beating together as one.
