August Winds...of Sea and Love by Auguste I've built a web site out of words And images of lovely art The paintings, beautiful women And the poetry is from my heart I speak of things we seek in life Of shattered dreams and hurtful pasts Of ways to overcome our fears How long, this passion in us lasts It's "August Winds...of Sea and Love" A title that describes me well It talks of how I've climbed through life And also speaks of times I fell But most of all, it speaks of hope And speaks of strength, of how to fight Of climbing ladders to the stars Of baring open hearts to light It even speaks of life's long path This wondrous journey we must take Mistakes I've made along the way And some I still so often make It speaks of love as best I can Respect for women that I feel Such treasures, they, true works of art These sentiments are very real And let us not forget the sea For haunting whale songs in me live Tall ships of sail that travel on The tales are in these poems I give And if a dreamer, you will find A part of you within this place Romance and dreams I feed the mind A distant shore, a lovely face "August Winds...of Sea and Love" Has some of this and more to see To feed your soul and yes, your heart All that I am, or hope to be |

Hoot Owl and Salooma, The poem wasn't really intended to promote my web site. It gets plenty of traffic. I think I wrote it to "explain to myself" what it is that causes me to write. I've often wondered, and still do, why I feel I must write poetry. I guess like many of us, poetry to me is a form of therapy. I find it relaxing and a great release. Take care, my friends, and thank you Michael |

Your poem was very descriptive and beautifully put together to tell that story. I look forward to reading more. |

Excellent Auguste, this is a wonderful poem. . . and your site is equally beautiful. . . Being a Virgo, I've always had a soft spot for the month of August, and this is a fine example of why. . .

Jenn E, Thank you. I love the word "beautifu" when it is about something I've written, for my goal is just that, to speak of beauty. As for the title, a dear friend is responsible for "August Winds." I immediately liked it. Michael Marge, I'm glad to know the man behind the words can be seen. I think that's important to anyone who writes. As always, I do so appreciate your very nice comments. Michael |
