I recall how desolate the ocean seemed Yet in my eye there was still a gleam, But being there alone with all my sadness Remembering tears through all the madness. Sunset hovered in the sky just behind I've never had so much on my mind, Even the smell there was not the same Which brought about an emotion I cannot name. I tackled my demons from spring before Holding myu composure and nothing more, The palm trees danced in the evening breeze Giving me somewhat a feeling of ease. Reflection on a time here that made me smile Realizing now it has been a while, The traffic behind makes not a sound Here a heart was lost and never found. For now no laughter fills these ears Yet I stay to face my fears, Pelicans in groups go floating by In the lonely tropical autum sky. I close my eyes and it all comes clear Just how much I gained and lost here. I learned to love and it caused me pain As if my efforts were all in vain, The ocean waves claim a hypnotic hold Even as the air around me becomes bitter cold. I return here though the memories never cease For of me here on the sand will always be a "peace". Jeremy T. Sellers 6/23/00 10:07 AM "Those little slices of death, how I loathe them." -Edgar Allen Poe |

Jeremy, that was the first one I read of yours, very nice. The ocean can always stir up melancholy in me, and the sound of the waves brings back memories.I found and lost love there also.But its still my favorite place to be. Sandra |

Thank you everyone, I had another here called "East Coast" if you would like to read it too. Though I've pained a lot at the ocean's side, it too, is still my favorite place to be. Thank you all for your kindness!!! Jerm |
