'Beyond the east the sunrise <br /> beyond the west the sea.... ' Gerald Gough <br /> <br />So yonder my thoughts <br />do flee, my friend, <br />long after <br />to be chased by me. <br />All you see is a mask <br />a ghost from the past <br />it’s not me <br />I’ve changed girl. <br />You look across time <br />your memories are fine <br />but you won’t find me <br />from there girl. <br /> <br />The incoming tide <br />washes our prints <br />from the shore. <br />You stare down <br />from this ledge above me. <br />The wind blowing, <br />the gleaming black strands <br />of your shoulder length hair. <br />Strands play <br />around the straps <br />of your long white dress, <br />blown sensuously against you. <br /> <br />And you watch me <br />with those beautiful <br />solemn eyes. <br />You reach down <br />our hands do not touch <br />they never can. <br />Yet will always love you. <br />Your very being <br />fills me with rapture <br />and a deep longing. <br /> <br />The vision of you <br />I behold, is a mist of spray <br />against the golden rays <br />washing over my senses. <br />My life of solitaire <br />is ending here. <br />I’ll be what I am <br />the man you have searched for, <br />with consoling care. <br />For I have waited <br />an eternity, for you here. <br />And of all women <br />I do confess of them all <br />I love thee best. <br /> <br /> <br />Copyright © Terence George Craddock <br />http: //www.poemhunter.com/terence-george-craddock/<br /><br />Terence George Craddock (Spectral Images and Images Of Light)<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/look-across-time/
