The far away peninsula

Lapped the whitecaps over
and, over

The color blue turned,
to foam

As the land was parched
and the swells, lay
arched
while the rocks
sat drunk, with spray

The tight closed mussels, filled
with pearls

A gull was hopping, on
one leg

The sky was shy and turned
to cry
behind a curtain, moist
of missed

A couple dreams, walked
the beach

And wrote a Sanskrit, in
the soil

Dents, of regret

Burrows, never met

Scratched with backs, and knees
that couldn't sleep

The tide came in and tasted
sin

For wasting all their, time
apart

The poem it penned and all,
It was
was swallowed sweetly, by
the sea

It sings for us and always,
will

In serenades upon, the shore

The now and then and tomorrow and forever of the lure of sea, song, sand, sky sun and sea-lovers of all kinds! Lovely, Rich, as always.

Makes me want to go there and walk the dream.
Richy, this is a treasure buried deep in the sands.

Tears, dents, scratches and then a serenade...in that order.

Yep! That's her alright!

Your poetry has an incredible ring of truth in it Richy!

Just like her, very well put together!
