Does this poem have emotion " Survivor"?
Life's waves washed me upon your Island shore
Tossed by rolling seas, a torn heart maroon
You found me, the sea and sand are no more
Gave caring love in your sheltered lagoon
I had nothing,no jeweled treasure to share
No diamonds bright, rubies red,fragile heart
You clothed me in reason, a coat I wear
For this gift, a promise, we'll never part
My love though humble, is forever free
I place it well without reserve or fear
On your heart's altar, I leave a plea
And only ask, you keep it well my dear
Life had cast me from its brigantine decks
Now, found survivor of my heart's shipwreck

What a beautiful poem Frederic! I really love it. So well fashioned with lots of colorful images and well crafted! Yes, it definitely shows the emotion of one who has survived much pain and hardship. Thanks for the pleasure of reading it!

Excellent poem, composed with a syllabic
smoothness not oft seen and not
easily achieved.
This is one of the best I've read
from your pen...and one of the
best I've encountered on this
forum.
Bravo.

Absolutely.. lovely poem.. true with emotion, passion, and beautiful terms to describe the survivor.
It held my attention and I could feel the emotion that you went through.

Yes Fredric, a beautiful poem which conveys passion. A lost soul who has found a safe harbour. That's what I got from this delightful read, and in sonnet format which makes it even more enjoyable.
