Come, love, where foam wears a crown made of starlight,
where the sea hums a melody spun out of dreams.
The moon waltzes barefoot on tides ever restless,
and the wind whispers secrets it stole from the streams.

I have spun you a song from the breath of the ocean,
stitched it with pearls and the hush of the deep.
The dolphins have danced to the notes of my longing,
the jellyfish glimmer where my sorrows sleep.

I twine through the currents, I weave through the breakers,
a ribbon of longing, a whisper, a wraith.
I sing to the ghosts of lost sailors and lovers,
who answered my call with the hush of their faith.

They answered with sighs as they slipped beneath moonlight,
with hands outstretched to a promise unknown.
They followed the song like a tide-pulled surrender,
hearts spilling their echoes to waters below.

Still, there you stand, where the land meets the never,
feet traced by the waves, yet tangled in sand.
Oh, foolish beloved, the stars know far better;
you were never meant to be bound to the known.

Come tumble, come twirl, come be wild in the water!
Laugh as the minnows slip soft through your hands.
Let go of the weight that the earth placed upon you,
and waltz where the sea writes its love in the sands.

Love is not tethered, nor meant to be quiet,
It leaps like the tide and it sings like the foam!
So dance my beloved, where magic is boundless;
Where shipwrecks are cradled and sirens call home.

For love is not living when love is in waiting,
when longing outlasts even time’s cruel design.
And if you won’t have me in flesh or in waking,
then drown here in dreams…forever in mine.

Where love meets the hush of dawn,
where longing turns to belonging,
where fingers trace the echoes of forever
on the skin of fleeting moments.

Where love meets the salt of tears,
both joyful and aching,
where silence speaks in heartbeats
and laughter carves itself into time.

Where love meets the wind,
untamed and relentless,
carrying whispered promises
to the edges of the world.

Where love meets loss,
yet does not end,
where memory lingers like a flame,
gentle, unyielding, eternal.

Where love meets itself again,
in the eyes of a stranger,
in the hand that reaches,
in the soul that stays.

Where love meets the infinite
and chooses to stay.

The ocean hums in silver light,
where mermaids weave the threads of night.
Their laughter spills like shattered pearls,
adrift in waves with secret swirls.

The sirens call in voices low,
soft as moon-touched undertow.
A melody both fierce and free,
laced with salt and lost at sea.

Starfish kisses on fingertips bright,
glowing soft in the hush of night.
Moonlit wishes ride the tide,
carrying dreams where hearts confide.

Their shimmer lingers on the tide,
a fleeting glow, a dream’s divide.
Echoes dance where wishes weep,
whispered vows the waters keep.

So close your eyes and drift along,
to mermaid sparkles, siren song.
Where longing lives and lingers deep,
and love is something waves must keep.

A silver hush drapes o'er the land,
Soft as whispers, cool as sand.
The misty veil of midnight deep
Lulls the stars in gentle sleep.

The moon, a lantern pale and bright,
Scatters diamonds through the night.
They shimmer, dance, then drift away
Fleeting dreams in silver spray.

A river hums, a night bird sings,
A sigh of wind on velvet wings.
The world, aglow in hushed embrace,
Wears moonlit sparkles, laced with grace.

In the stillness of a misty morning,
The sea whispers its secrets,
The horizon softened by gray,
Like the world is holding its breath.

We walk, side by side,
Not in a hurry,
Just moving with the rhythm of the waves,
Our footsteps sinking into the cool sand,
Echoes of longing and love filling the space between us.

I don’t speak...
There’s no need for words.
The air is thick with anticipation,
The mist wraps us in its quiet embrace,
And all around us, time slows,
As if the world knows this moment is precious.

We wait.
Not for something to come,
But for everything to settle into place...
The softness of your hand near mine,
The shared silence that speaks louder than words,
The tender longing that feels like it’s been here forever,
Waiting to be understood.

And the love,
A pulse beneath the sound of the sea,
Constant, steady,
Unspoken, but known.

In this mist,
In this quiet space between us,
There is everything we need.
No need for more,
Just the sea, the fog,
And the soft, tender feeling
Of being here, together.

The sun spills gold in fragile streams,
a fleeting touch, a sigh between;
where time unravels, slow and thin,
like an ancient spell whispered on the wind.

The dawn awakes with silver hands,
to trace lost love upon the land.
A mist, a ghost, a breath, a plea;
a world once whole, now memory.

The rivers hum in voices old,
secrets spun in liquid gold.
Their song still lingers, soft and low,
a tale of things we’ll never know.

The trees, they reach, they ache, they yearn,
for fires gone cold, for stars that burn.
Their roots entwine the bones of time,
each ring a loss, each leaf a rhyme.

The flowers bloom, then fade, then fall,
as if they never lived at all.
Yet in their scent, a love remains;
a whispered name, a fleeting flame.

The mountains stand, but in their stone,
are echoes carved of those long gone.
Their peaks still call to those below,
a song of longing, laced with woe.

The ocean sings in sorrowed waves,
it cradles what it could not save.
Each crest, a prayer; each fall, a cry;
a heart too vast to say goodbye.

And when the dusk drapes earth in blue,
the stars blink out, as lost things do.
For magic lingers, wild and thin,
like an ancient spell whispered on the wind.

My lover has crossed the sea, the great blue sea,
where the waves rise high and the gulls fly free.
With salt on his skin and wind in his hair,
he left me standing, silent, and bare.

The tide it pulls, the tide it sways,
stealing the light from my weary days.
I trace his name in the shifting sand,
only to watch it slip from my hand.

The moon whispers secrets across the deep,
as I sit alone where the cold winds weep.
Does he think of me when the stars ignite?
Or am I a shadow lost to the night?

Oh, sea so wide, oh, sea so tall,
have you no mercy, none at all?
Carry him back, bring him to me,
my heart is adrift, lost at sea.
