One Love split by ocean’s width Sandy beaches whisper scandal Neither lover two defined Shot a glance into a heart Painful saline from its depths One love less distinct Watched the amber waves once sink From hair that draped o’er the sun She’d seen through eyes of glass Bottom boat where all’s revealed Nay eyes are cast upon the yield One love whose eyes bought a watch Unerring time the tide brought in For moon is cursed diadem Those lovers wear to bed At night the coolness makes love to foam As her boat shall spread the tide The hot air lifts from waves and forms A teary-eyed goodbye Though love be a hand that holds many seas I lost her on the breeze [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (06-21-2002 01:09 AM).] |

Walt~ 'At night the coolness makes love to foam As her boat shall spread the tide The hot air lifts from waves and forms A teary-eyed goodbye' That is simply beautiful~ *sighs* *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
