On The Beach

In answer to moon’s call,
waves break upon the shore;
white salt spray scattered,
coming to rest on gray sands.

Pressed together on blanket,
nibbling you with warm lips
and soft tongue -
lying in shadows of ancient rocks;
the fires smoldering within,
hotter than the driftwood
burning at our feet.

Your eyes sparkle brightly,
alive -
with innumerable pinpoints
of reflected blue starlight;
creamy skin glowing
like the moon high above.

Taking you in my arms,
I roll over on top of you,
covering you protectively
as the evening air grows cold;
we burrow into the blanket
as sweat mingles with ocean mist.

Sea winds whisper above us
like lovers in secret tryst;
hushed murmurs of declaration
pass between us,
to be inscribed in our hearts,
then carried out to sea
by the tide.

Jonas; Like the romantic poets of old,you write of love by the sea with the ageless beauty of hearts that never lose the wonder of loves glory. Ellie

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

Thank you Ellie  

This poem was inspired by my recent visit to the Oregon coast.
