I am not a poet by any means. I wrote this for my gf and will include it as a message in a bottle. English is not my first language and, even though some of the words and thoughts are personal to her and I, I would appreciate your criticism as I am not sure it all makes sense. After all, this will be something she will keep forever. Thank you.

This island of loneliness my soul travels daily<o:p></o:p>

Bears my heart with deep chagrin and sighs<o:p></o:p>

Knowing over this ocean my true love lies<o:p></o:p>

In the form of an angelic Caledonian beauty.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Thoughts of your heartfelt smile and embrace<o:p></o:p>

Nourish a mind of turbid and somber nights<o:p></o:p>

When hunger for an abundance of lights<o:p></o:p>

Will not suffice the affliction to erase.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

The reminds of your laughter birds sing and cry<o:p></o:p>

Your aroma winds carry across the land<o:p></o:p>

As the waves crash heavily upon the sand<o:p></o:p>

Fills me heart with gladness and wipe my eyes dry.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

As long as through my veins blood is running<o:p></o:p>

My petrified arms will not cease to strive<o:p></o:p>

Your hope and love will keep my force alive<o:p></o:p>

Until our dreamt cabin is built and being.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

I long for the days of conquering my queen<o:p></o:p>

When our bodies reconcile and come together<o:p></o:p>

As love and emotion grow stronger and deeper<o:p></o:p>

With eyes that sparkle my sweet and loving Kathleen.<o:p></o:p>
