The sounds of a heartbeat
Nestling  through the mist.
Sunday morning fog
Tingles as a kiss.
.
Sea breeze caressing
The melody of the sea.
Longings  beyond  the tide
Desires to be free.
.
Quiet  breaths whisper
Delights of long ago.
With a trail of memories
The gentle dawn’s aglow .

A lone path accompanies
Beside the breathing sea.
Moist, sandy footprints
I feel you

I sit along the sunny sea
The waves
… kiss my toes.

I close my eyes
I giggle
Picking petals from a rose.

The scent
… of salty breezes;
A buoy sounds it’s bell.
Seashells tumble…;
Brother plays…
Sherman takes the hill.

Nana and Poppy are flying
Kite-tails…
Dance towards the sun.
The gulls hover free
Over the sea…
And, the sandpipers are on the run.

The summer’s cottage;
The stony walls
The rose garden blooms near the sea;

Remnants sewn
... in little satchels;
..., sea-salt and rose,  potpourri.

Along a long and lonely path
Hills,
Rocks,
… and trees;

Darkness;
Here …becomes a sound;
Rustling, ... against the eves.

I remember
… as a child
… and now
Memories once more;

So much time
I remember;
… that sound; That sound
I recall.

Playing rocks
…at the lake; Long,
... after last summer‘s call;
I remember the cabin
A time when leaves… would fall.

Shackled pods,
Tapping laurels
Still...
Rustling
… against the eves.

A sound
I remember.
The sound; That sound
... wont give way

From nowhere
Tones of laughter;
A child’s memory

A child’s heart… at last play?!

Leaves falling;
Time remembers.

Not a sound
What sound
… could there be

… only of falling teardrops;

Rain;
Rustling;
Rocks; ...
The hills
And laurel trees.

Still,…; Now rain
...  there’s the sound;

Laurels ... still rustling
… against the eves.

Moonlight;
Candlelight;
Dreams
…of loving you;
Sea-side
Where seashells
… ride the sea.

The tide’s dance
... to fools;
Sparkles
… from the blue;
Only love in the deep
... could be free.
.
As free
… as the wide open sea.

Only love
... in the deep
Could be free.

As free as
... the wide open sea.

Betwixt;
Be-twain;
The heart;
The brain;
Love;
In the deep
… could be free.

Only down
… in the deep is free.
Here.
.. in the deep
Blue sea.

My heart takes
… to the beach;
But legs
… fear to reach
Such love;
My love;
My need

In the deep;
In the deep
Is free.

Only in the deep
… is free.

Only here
In the deep blue sea.

Such shells shimmer
… along the sea;

My tears;
My love
…make me free,

Please, come;
Come now
...to me

Leave the shore
Be mine; I’m yours.

Come to me?
My love
… leave the shore;
Please, come
Make me free
Once more…

Only the deep
In the deep
… is free.

Only
... in the deep
Blue sea.

Only here;
In the deep blue sea..

My treasured Spirit; Finally,
Slumber finds me.
Alone; Besides our long deserted shore.
With warm lips; the taste
pomegranate wine
… and memories;

Our time.
Our chalice to saver;
Lingering sweet
… for you.

Sand stretches
… against the weary tide.
And, and so do I…;
Weary am I
… for the sweet caress of your arms.

Memories, memory is all there is…;
And wanting… ;

Time stands still
Absent of my heart
I wait…
For your return.

Time;
Tide;
… the stars themselves fill the void;
…with sound.

The sunset moves
… beyond a wayward shore.

In silence,
I am without you.

I may drown;
Sweet spirit,
I am weary
… for you;

I wait
… once more;

Waves
… ride the tide.

Wind
… sways trees.

Stars dance and weave my dreams;
Desire;
… my desire
Feels the sea.

Maybe tonight;
Tonight,…
Tonight you will reach…

My need
My love
Along our lonely beach.

The sweet scent
Salty air.

A warmth
I feel you
…beyond the jetty’s break

In the wind
I hear your heart
Beating
Or… is it mine?

Am I all alone?

You possess me;
My heart.
I feel your touch
… In me
As soft waves glide
I sense your touch;

…I am free.

Kisses so yielding;
Gentle lips
… touch the air.
Sultry tingles …
Glide between nap and nape.

Despite fingertips
…flexing;
exploring sand.

Clinging
Wanting
…your touch.

Warm;
Wet;
Sand;

Gulls, cry out;
Dawn;

Time moves
A new day
Wakes

Still,… My treasured Spirit;
You are gone
… beyond the sea.

Four am.
A time…;
When the world is complete.

Moonlight, now, fades
Onto… a new-day’s fog.
Salty, …shabby wooden planks;
Silent,… serene boardwalk;
My  delight…

Such haze holds the stage;
Now, to walk

The idles of time.
Foggy mist
Seeps… onto the rise.
Water reaches
Then… clings upon moist wet sand.
Useless…
The struggle; The pull.
A  resigning white line
Bubbles
Caressing mist …tingles the flesh.

A pervading heart
Beats.

My… thoughts of you;

Such breath gives me
Flight.

Soothing breeze… lifts tattered wings.
To raise above nature’s silent kiss
To reach… beyond endless sky.
Ascend… above our sea

Beloved; Beyond all;

Beyond
Space;
Time;
Shadow.
To you…

Where I fly
… free

Freedom,
Freedom, once more
To feel;

Oh, my love
… to feel

Once more.

Beauty;
Memory;
Your arms.
The rapture’s of your heart.
The touch of your love,

The beat …of your heart
To fly…,
Free,

Freedom
You
Beyond…
Reach …
Your reach;
Your heart;
Two hearts
Where,
No echo… exist.

Desire
Longing
Mist
Reaching
Reaching
Reaching
Beyond…

B­ut…;
Gulls cry!

Sunlight

Misty fog
… burns away

Clarity

A new day
…wakes

Once more silence

A heart
Beats…
Alone.

Gulls hover
… to feast
Once more

On time’s tide.
