One day, while sketching at the sea Breathtaking beauty, golden tan Approached and asked what it might be And stood with me upon the sand So seldom can such beauty be My heart was beating like a drum As if she came from out the sea From nowhere did she seem to come Her name was Libby and we talked We seemed to find a common bond Quite near the foam and spray we walked Her voice like ripples on a pond Just barely was she clothed at all Her body like you see in dreams Her eyes are what I really saw She's still a part of me it seems Her eyes, sweet dew reflecting light Such peace conveyed within their gaze More lovely than the stars of night So lost in them, much like a maze More like a vision, so like art Her voice was softly dripping rain If my eyes closed, would she be there? Is this a dream, am I still sane? Our shadows lengthened as we walked And as we talked of many things The sun now changed its shift with night We spoke of long forgotten dreams As darkness fell I took her hand So not to lose her in the night Her touch like silk against my skin Her fragrance was so much like sight A little longer did we stroll With hand in hand along the shore Now she's embedded in my soul Oh how we longed for so much more But part we did, and now I miss This lovely vision, gone so long I never touched her lips to kiss Though in my heart she lives in song |

Magnificent piece of work here Michael. Is this a true story? Reads like one... Or a dream...a wonderful dream.. Into my library this goes! ~Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Hi everyone!  I'm glad you enjoyed this one and yes, it's a true story. I'm actually glad we parted as we did. Sometimes wanting is so much better than having. Thank each of you! |
