This is a poem of loss. It is about a young woman who walks on a lonely beach in the dark of night. She carries a lantern in her hand as she watches the ocean and can hear the sounds of the tides as it crashes against the shoreline. Looking out into the dark sea; the words pour from her lips like wine would pour into a glass.
The Song Of The Dark Wine Sea:
In the dark of night
I walk the sandy beaches of the shoreline
Holding a lantern light
The ocean waters flow and pay no mind
I breathe a heavy sigh
I search the horizon with hopeful eyes
I slowly start to cry
and I imagine that my lover is by my side
Standing here with me
we would hold hands walking into the night
We'd look into the sea
Loving each other under the moonlight
Words he spoke to me
Of different places and of other times
His words of poetry
Flowed down calmly just like honey wine
We said our last goodbyes
He kissed the salty tears from my eyes
Why did he have to die?
On this beach I stand alone and cry
My heart is filled with pain
The tides crashing on the shores
Emotionally I'm drained
My lover does not stand here anymore
I will remember him
He was the only man to ever touched me
Love is not a whim
Our bodies would reach a perfect harmony
Now I'm all alone
For I must accept the painful truth of reality
I now must let him go
All that's left is the memory of the sea
The womans words taste both sweet and bitter; just like the many flavors of different wines.
