Meet Me By The River
January 5, 2011
Meet me by the river
Fall gently into time
Promise me freedom
Inspire me to speak
We'll fly a while kite in the centre of the sky
The water impressions a mirror
Transforming reflections
Shielding regrets
We'll never endure the dark forces of any sea
'Cause here by the river
Is where you'll meet me

Well, I don't know what your other work is like, but this is an amazing poem! I really appreciate the message and I understand the true beauty behind the words. Thank you for sharing, and this is really nice work :)
A lot of my peers had poems with completely different subjects than mine: since there were a lot of words such as grueling, forceful, dark, transforming, etc many of the finished poems had cynical or aggressive tones.
I felt that my poem was a very romantic one, with a lot of deep purity and innocent love. The way I pictured the poem coming to real life was a couple meeting by a river to lose sight of all that is wrong in the world, and see that everything is right between them. It is, in my opinion, the best piece of work I've ever created.
