Flourish Together!


My glass was full & life was a tasty dish!
He was my ocean & I swam like a fish.
He was my ardent & heartfelt wish.
Still, we parted ways without a kiss.
Without me, he dreamt to flourish.
He never knew how much he'd miss!
He rued- glass is empty; nothing's bliss...
Life without me is a salt-less dish!

Eisenstein Potemkin 2.jpg
Cropped still from Eisenstein's film Battleship Potemkin (1925).

When he came back, I saw his furrow.
We got together for no more sorrow.
We both dreamt to flourish in our burrow.
Now we dance together like no tomorrow,
We wish more music & time to borrow...
Both our glasses are full & there's no sorrow!

    nice...your twist is there....we all find love in mysterious ways..
    each one unique....and even through roughtimes...and maybe separations
    but find each other again and it falls right together....cool piece anita

    Maybe the break was a necessary step. So that eventually they could find love and happiness together. Very sweet.

    Great progression here. Always good to end with a 'full glass.' Smiles!!

    WoW! Against all expectations, it is possible--and with a wisdom gained from absence. Each line of your poem rings like a clear bell. The picture in the center was wrenching, but I saw it as an inner state!

    My glass is always half full...I like to think I live each day with vim and vigor.

    A 2-rhyme sonnet - 1/2 this - 1/2 that reflected in meter and rhyme as well as content - clever. Definitely turned - I'd say 180 degrees! Well done, you.

    It's nice when you finally realize the grass is just as green in your own back yard. Nice. Peace, Linda

    Nice that he came back, and appreciates his good fortune. Had to smile at the photo accompanying this poem. It goes so well with the verse.

    you don't know what you got until you don't have it anymore... I would've turned him away for leaving in the 1st place... ha

    Fun story of lovers re-uniting later in life -- or so it seems.
    I enjoyed the contrasts of the pre and post re-union.
