He's gone for the weekend
beach strolling
He loves the feel of sand
between his toes
peace of the rolling waves
under the moonlight
Said he would look at the moon
and think of her...

Would she of him?

Standing on her front porch
Lunar kisses light
upon her upturned face
as she searches the skies
An endless blanket of ebony velvet
elegantly patterned with heavens souls
shimmering soft whispers
She surrenders to the gentle night
dreaming of a distant moon
Floating away for a wistful moment
she joins him
and feels the sand between her toes…..

this is perfect...lovely imagery...
very enjoyable to read...well expressed emotions.
take care, janet marie

 Now for me some words come easy...
But I know that they don't mean that much
Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch.
You never knew what I loved in you--
I don't know what you loved in me...
Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be...
How long have I been sleeping-
How long have I been drifting alone through the night...
How long have I've dreaming I could make it right...
If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might
To be the one you need...
Jackson Browne

Janet Marie...

Thank you very much... )  

Marge...

I'm on new ground here...I started writing less than a year ago...with heartbreak as my only inspiration...then fantasies of what I wanted...

So I'm plodding along...(mostly posting old poems )..while I expand into new territories..

Thanks so much for your encouragement!  *HUG*

The warm soft sands
caressing my soul.
The oceans tides
washing away residue.
Nature's cleansing
rebirth from above.

I love your poem, it inspired me deeply, thank you for sharing it here for my eyes to delight, my senses to feel, and my mind to encounter a beautiful journey.

Oh gosh....I just love the feeling of walking alone on a beach just as the tide settles back...leaving only my own footprints behind me, like a trail of lonely memories only to be washed away by the next tide to make a new slate for the next lonely dreamer to make his tracks.....


Thanks for a truly lovely read...

the calm inside me

where I can breathe...
