If I could walk backwards into the night
Down dark and winding roads of pale moonlight
I’d search for you
If I could spin the earth back round the sun
To years before my heart was won
I’d wish for you
If I could fly beyond the earth's blue sky
From star to star I’d step, gazing from on high
For views of you
If like a drifting seashell I washed upon your isle
I’d hope to find you waiting there with your silly smile
I’m in love with you
WOW! not only did i find one i hadn't commented on, but i found this FANTASTIC POEM. the only thing 'wrong' with it is that it's a 'love poem'. ugh! ! but such a wonderfully written one that it zooooomss to MyPoemList. I love the flow, the relatively short third lines AND that they each end in “you”. (of course you ARE referring to ME, but we needn’t tell everyone!) I do worry about a person walking BACKWARDS into the night; isn’t that just ASKING for a fall? ? the idea of turning back time by spinning “the earth back round the sun” is, to me, unique and fun. very clever. no typos, good rhyming; it has it all. too bad you had to mention “love”. ugh! and I think I’ll share it with at least one PH friend. and it would make a great addition to one of my PH showcases. think about it. bri :)
Lovely look at if 'I' in this poem, backwards walking so original way to say I love you... will make his silly smile into a big grin...regards
The beach for me like the sea. Warm waves that clean your feet. Pulled back in, washed up again there along the shore...iip
