Frederic asked in Arts & HumanitiesPoetry · 7 years ago

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.
