sand sculptures fashioned
as balmy beach impassioned
Summer love ... rationed ...
soft silky fingers
building sultry peaks lingers
caress ... as clingers ...
water fills spaces
fragile sand grains erases
breaking bridges bases ...
structures may subside
wet or dry causes landslide
weakens ... tumbles ... hides ...
granules recede
love, like sand, infiltrates need,
grows from special seed ...
complex designs stand
created mold ... hand in hand ...
love castles in sand ...
comparisons and analogies of love to sand ...
