The Sun and the Sea

Ebbing swell laps like a lullaby against the crystalline sands

Adorned by vibrant shells glistening from sunlight above

As my fingers hover across the mossy weeds left ashore

Thoughts lend themselves to the Sun, the Sea, and love…

What gloom must he harbor within his striking flare

For lonesome he rests upon his perch, only a glance

At his dearest who parts her aquamarine lips in wait

for him to descend and conclude his daytime dance

Extending his arms and augmenting his flames ablaze

Tints the skies a passionate brew of fiery shades

She, with a smile, sweeps the evening breeze clean

Invites her love closer with a flick of her cerulean braids

The clouds arch towards their meet at the horizon

Forming a smoky wreath around the two as they near

Her soft voice calls for him, waves frothing restlessly

And he inches closer, anticipation a burden to bear

The moment’s intensity beckons stars from the night

To glimpse his burning cheeks caress her silken face

Blushing smiles cast scarlet across the fading horizon

As he burns out with a sigh, locked in her loving embrace

So with teary eyes I rest my head on the shifting sand 

Black bleeding from the sky as lovers are lost in the night

I dream of other unseen spectacles that transpire around

And await dawn when again the Sun would shine its light
