On the Rocks Again
Virginia Salter

here we are
on the rocks again
staring out to sea
waves lap at our toes again
as you press your arm ‘round me

the gulls sing a lullaby
as sun sinks into the deep
crimson clouds seem steamy now
as night’s call begins its creep

rhinestones, diamonds, crystal stones
sparkle, twinkle fantasy
solitude and peacefulness
caress both you and me

a distant trombone of the night
alerts the earth about
beneath the glow of Fresnel lens
“When near the rocks, look out!”

Thanks, insect.  I had fun doing the opposite of what 'on the rocks' usually means in a relationship.  ;o}

Very good, Virginia! Creative twist to the usual meaning of those words! I enjoyed this very much!
