Sunset Memoir

I explore with chaste to hear ocean roar,
pounding on my beach, a sound heard before...
I ask of seashore, "Show me ocean swell
from your powdered sand?"  Waves from past will tell,
though it be redeemed from valley of shell.

Wings fashioned of self to feel angels soar,
elevate my heart, I'm restrained here no more...
I ask of heaven, "Give me answers true
from voices above?"  Shades of love will do,
Oh, I am inspired by feelings for you.

Pure blooming fragrance to console the old,
avalanche of hues, tint canvas with gold...
I ask of sunset, "Grant me dazzling sky
full of brilliance?"  We look eye to eye,
there I've known passion between you and I.

Oh this is very nice.
Your calls for enlightenment
but simple to suffice
and ending in the only place
we ever find ourselves

I like this very much.

Beautiful write, bob...the title drew me in, but the poem was just fantastic! Great write!

I hopelessly, helplessly, wonder why
Everything gotta change around me
I’d tell it to your face,
But you lost your face along the way...

Superb write, Bob. You have set the scene so well. It is a special moment when you get to share it with one you love. Beautiful!

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

so so so so lovely! "avalanche of hues" a superb phrase

I don't quite understand the use of the word chaste in the opening line, could you explain it for me.
