Separation<br /> <br /> Will you ever return my love<br /> To that lovely coastline of ours<br /> That rugged shore where we were bound<br /> To a life full of love's lovely showers<br /> <br /> Where closeness of kin is everything<br /> Here on that lonely bay<br /> Your embracing arms and endearing charms<br /> They stay with me to this day<br /> <br /> I never could quite understand<br /> Why you left me bereft of your charms<br /> I wish right now that I could hold<br /> You tenderly in my arms<br /> <br /> Your velvet lips and fond caress<br /> Will never leave my mind<br /> They haunt me each and every hour<br /> Knowing I'm left far behind<br /> <br /> A wrong word spoken, a look forsaken<br /> Have ended in separation so hard to take<br /> But I must soldier on my love<br /> A life without you I must make<br /> <br /> But if you do come back again<br /> And I'm long since passed o're<br /> Linger softly on my grave my love<br /> So I can feel your presence once more.<br /> <br /> <br /> A love poem written by a lover separated from his beloved. <br /> <br /> John Cornick<br /> Halifax, Nova Scotia<br /> <br /> <br />   Submitted By: John Cornick
