Born Poets is a poetry forum with emphasis on respectful but thorough critique. Until now, we were limited to the written word but it was decided that it would be both helpful and entertaining if we could also hear each other's poems as well as reading them, so we have set up this page for our members who wish to have their poems heard as well as read. It's not impossible that some of the poems will be accompanied by music too, as many of aour mmembers are also musicians. If you like what you hear on this site and want to find out more, please feel free to visit our forum at http://bornpoets.proboards23.com/ If you're a poet yourself and would like to share your works with us and maybe have your poem featured on this page, please feel free to joins us, we always welcome new members. But please bear in mind, this is a critique based forum and whilst our critiques are always friendly, respectful and thoughtful, it's not the place for you if you don't want critique on your poems. But we're a friendly, if slightly mad, bunch and there's always room for one more!

Lyrics
Evermore I looked for you down by the sea Along the pebbled shore My body weak from missing you I trudged for hours foot-sore But though I felt your presence dear And heard your whispered name so clear I lost my hopes in one large tear Goodbye for evermore The journey home I don’t recall I drove without concern In reflex, automatically I knew each twist and turn My eyes were misty in my grief Made actual by my belief The tide had stolen like a thief And left me here to yearn The house was cold, unwelcoming And chilled my aching soul You’d never more envelope me Nor fill the hearth with coal What was it love that made you go When always I have loved you so? I guessed that now I’d never know Nor evermore be whole That night as I sat in your chair All wrapped up in my shawl I pictured you upon the bridge Well lashed to fight the squall You’d known the sea was angry when You left the shore to sail again Did you intend to hurt me then Or just my heart to maul? But morning found a different view Inside the heart of me I knew you’d never close the door On all that we could be The plans we’d made when we were young Upon which all our dreams were hung Were songs my sailor man had sung Each time he went to sea Again I walked along the beach And searched its pebbled floor But now with eyes that burned with hope, I knew what I’d searched for The message you had sent to me As you met with your destiny Farewells from you to set me free And Loving Evermore © Dawn Sinclair 2006
