Island Love And Stone Lips

 

How often my love
Have
These hands
Clasped your
Stone lips
In
Falling rain
In this place were
People do not speak
Great sadness embrace us
How often my love
Have
Wooden teeth
Crushed
Bones
Painted fingers
In
A stone mouth
On this island of love
People cannot marry
Great sadness surrounds us
As my stone lips
Kiss

Tinka, this is a very elegant, well-written composition, which highlights the sadness one often finds when searching for ones “paradise island.” Thanks for sharing it. Take good care and be well.

well written.. the sadness & lonliness, the acceptance of what is.

"oh, but it were not so..."

lost love...an island all it's own
where a heart has turned to stone

This is one of your best ever Tinka, so tantalizingly pure and bittersweet it tugs at both sides of the heart at once. I love this one I truly do. Great work Tinka.
