“IN THE SURF”
by
Bill Charles
~~~~
The surf touches you gently,
over, and over again,
embracing with its motion,
washing away your pain…

In my eyes a sight to behold,
and I offer all apologies,
I can’t help but look at you,
in the gentle breeze…

Hair past your shoulders,
tenderness I see flowing,
eyes soft with charm,
a picture, so admiring…

I look at you standing tall,
not quite a smile on your face,
perhaps I’ll join you,
in the surf, or anyplace…

*sigh* a vision of walking gently through the surf....*sigh* ripples of waves covering your toes....Oh gosh......I love the way you put this poem together......the vision is so inspiring and made for romance. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Bill darling boy This I LOVE, the imagery and the sounds both combine to invoke a beautiful illusion. I can hear the surf, I can see the girl, and I can see you joining her.

Bill,
this was lovely, but not at all what I was expecting...maybe because I read the title as I'm the smurf. It gives whole new meaning to Freudian slip doesn't it.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown
