A Martime's View

Poetry and Blogs - There is an invisible world of emotions written in Love poems, hidden through-out time and place. The site Poetry.com has as it Love poem of the day, ther choice for the 28th feb was one of the greatest written by William Shakespeare. These are not as invisible as poems written by individuals like my self or an e-mail friend who express her heart felt lost. First, my own effots at poetry when I wrote a good bye to a samoian friend,
Although it appears we had a love between us we were telephoning only and had feelings...??; and we felt we were just "very dear friend" So from Samoa to a princess named Lovey or To 'oa in her language...
.
Fa'afetai... sa tofa To'oa
.







Writing to no-one because its my heart speaking,
A letter never to be send, filled with thoughts seeking.
You have been lovey, a part of my life in so many ways
And you I will love forever, and know the lost every day
.

As we walked that sandy beach of friendship and knowing,
Leaving our love's footprints in the sand for a breeze blowing.
I saw the sun rise and cross the sky and our signs were there
until the waves slowly washed away any hurt of love of yere.

.
As the sea crosses those sands and others walk those paths
I will know only my memories of, it was us that walked there last.
For I shall not see that distance shore and sands again
because the love gained and lost, is now a hope on a wind.

.
The last words spoken were in your language of culture and way
tolafa alofa.. without reply..
i must leave a fa'afetai... tofa to'oa goodbye
As memories of a kind loving soul which passed and touched my 'ulafades
like wave removed footprints in the sand of Tafua

The Fruit of Agony Linda Nilsson-Hall

In the days that I have loved you
And you in love with me
I smiled for you,I bent for you
For your heart I could then see
.
We made some fun together
In all the things we done,
We shared our bed, excreta
Our hearts shone like the sun
.
My whole life was so protected
In the love I had for you
From all the pain that is in the world
Just knowing that, you loved me too
.
Things were good and we were fine
No matter where we went
Though, the more you spent your time online
I was losing my content
.
I knew that I would lose you
As you developed a new desire
It felt just like you took my heart
And threw it in a fire
.
I’ve since then tried to reason
Any neglect that I have done
Yes, I see that I’m not perfect
So, you found another One
.
I pleaded for your mercy
If I did you any wrong
Thou’ you decided you would leave me
Said; with me, you don’t belong
.
I groaned as you released me
And in my heart…I died
The agony of letting go
I cried, I cried, I cried
.
Since that day, I decided
To pick up all my tears
They transformed into diamonds
Of, memories in all our years
.
Now, I have forgiven you
And set you free from me,
The fruit of all that agony
Your true heart, now I see
.
Now, years seem like a moment
That we had and that is fine
Thank you for the time we shared
With you the sun did shine
.
Now, my days are cloudy,
But, I’m not losing hope
There is still a pulse within me
Though in my heart, I grope.
