Beyond the weary water line
alone in quelled explore
These footprints lead uncharted miles,
the first of many more
To wander in a time once known,
reflective worries gleam
In sand dune wishes washed away
and thoughts of what they mean
This setting sun shall rise again,
bring mornings to their due
Softer shades to paint the way
hypnotic scenes to view
While on this beach of moon lit swirls
I count each star above
These tiny lights of missing you,
still glisten of our love
When now this silent vacant space,
misplaced of harmony
Where shadows play of times before
and what this world could be
Sitting here these shifting sands,
my heart does swim the tide
Ebb and flow desires sung,
of tear drops cast aside
When there a distant light appears,
so deep within my stare
A silhouette of fantasy
approaching glistened flair
I rub my eyes, once blurry, cleared
for this that I now see
Along a coast of sea foam dreams,
you walking here to me
To take me swift into your arms
dark eyes to meet my gaze
Longing for the past returned
of brighter sunny days
With lips afire on my own
and rapid pulses pace
The glow of evening’s summer light
awash upon your face
I watch as you proceed to draw
a big heart in the sand
Encompassing the two of us
within it we now we stand
Lulled of curved horizon’s smile,
immersed this blushing sky
Drenched in breaths of only you
and every sultry sigh
With midnight song and passion’s bliss
we stroll again this sea
Like waves that fall our endless strand
forever, you and me*
