Remembering an Irish Sea

And there you stand upon a sea shell
Pearl ivory skin reflecting silken stars
I fell into those lovely brown eyes smiling
And lost my heart to lips of radient dyes

The fire pits on windy moonless evenings
Saw you dance with fervent life upon the air
I watch enthralled with mounting inner burning
The waves in rhythm with the blood of searing tears

The dance of summers mounting tensions
Begin with fires on the opal crust of rocky shores
You stand there like a ghostly crimson vision
An angel lost to salty music of ancient harbour lore

I enhale the night of deeply salted seaside memories
And take the dream of past romantic wanting love
And there you’ll dance on a rythmic firery evening..
And I'll love you in my way, Remembering an Irish Sea.

James Parker Haley

You never knew what I loved in you,
I dont know what you loved in me ...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be.

Park, I love it when you write like this. When your love of all things Irish comes out. (Even though it makes me wish for things I can't have.)
Happy St. Paddy's day, Park.

Dee

I wish you every happiness and may you always have the best of the good things in life.     a brand
