The Shores of Alone

0 posted 2001-01-21 12:07 PM




On the shores of La Jolla
I tasted salt on your lips
and sand on your neck
as a symphony of crashing waves
played in the background
and we danced closer
to the edge.

You spun me around
and we fell in the sand
your kiss warmed my silent soul
until it sang to a new level
vibrating in time
with the water-and your heartbeat.

Joined, we became a force
nearly as awe inspiring
as the ocean itself.
Magic encircled us
and we drew our names in the sand.

The tide repeated to me our
litany of love
which had begun so long ago:

Yes
Yes
we are one
with the water, the sand
and the sun.

Yes
Yes
we are one
with each other, the love,
it is done...

Beautiful write my friend, and San Diego will always hold wonderful memories for me and a special place in my heart thought I live far away.

Beautiful, sensual write!

I so love the beach, thanks for the  trip there.  Although, that's the only part of this piece I can truly relate to on the beach, itself. ;o}

==================

very nice Cat..sensual and lovely...
wonderful imagery as a backdrop to the emotions...
well done ...love that word litany...
definatly one of those words meant for poetry.
take care

I summon up remembrance of things past ...
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.

Wonderful write, Sandra!  The beach is my favorite place to be, and to reminisce about, even if it does make me melancholy, like the ending of your poem.  I love this!

I won't go,
I won't sleep,
I can't breathe
until you're resting here with me...

Catalina,
      The memories of SD will always stay in your heart.  And I'm sure in his, too. A beautiful read.  Put it in the book...
           Love, Elise
