In the last year and a half I have started to read Maggie Brown's books,and I am very impressed how much feeling and insight that she puts into her poems.I also love how easy they are to read because of their flow and simplicity.She has such great insight into relationships and how love is intertwined into all of our lives in different ways. I am looking forward to reading all of her books,and I will be looking forward to reading more of her work and I'm sure enjoying all of them. -
Jeff HThis is a sequel to the best selling 'A DEDICATION TO SOMEONE SO VERY SPECIAL' All 171 poems in this collection were written from the heart and cover all aspects of love, from the tentative beginnings, the passion and the deep longings at the end of an affair. I am sure the verses will resonate with who ever reads them.
A LIMPET
A limpet in a stormy sea
Tossed and weary, she wished you'd see
For as limpets do, she clung on to her love rock
Lashed by vicious tongues in waves of torment she clung on
And thought, if only you could see
What anguish you caused me
For that limpet perhaps to you seemed so insignificant
May be you will, may be you cant
This is the one who loves you so very deep
Who gave away to you her heart to keep
And in its place an empty hole
For like a limpet she clings on tight fast
For when she gave her love it was promised to last
If only the rock to whom she clings
Could hear the song her hurt soul sings
Instead he listens to the beating lashing of the waves
Whose lying tongues, gossip, he craves
One day that limpet will be washed away
And rock will have lost his one true love
Claimed forever by the vicious waves
And when the storm is over and the seas have won
He'll weep forever on his own
A solitary lump of lonely stone
