By The One I Love Poem by Cecil (cj) Krieger

By The One I Love



They gave me your ashes
On a sad day
A day that cried
From sunrise to sunset

A short time later
I left my house
And walked
To where the ocean
Met the rocky shore

When no one
Was around to see
I gave you over
To the wild waters
That spat with anger
On the sands

When my time comes
To say goodbye
Please… give my ashes
To the sea
So I can be near
The one I love
