Her eyes were tinged
A sad blue note
Held in four four time
That matched the waves
Lapping at her feet

I would have waltzed with her there,
Sand squished between toes
As wet feet became covered
Then washed with each surge,
But her eyes told me
That fragile glass beginnings
Break easily

Instead I watched
Her lost in her world
Me
Wishing she were
In mine

You behold beautifully...
and describe tragedy with tenderness.

(smiling) I suffer an overactive imaginative disorder with symptons leading to dysfunctional descriptive passages being penned in excess of allowable norms.

Well these green eyes are envious;  gentleness and compassion, great combo! Think he should do more than wish, for he has to admit blued beach glass is pretty and strong...no sharp edges, just soft to touch. Add a little wet kiss and see her shine.

Maybe she is not the eggshells he seems to imply.

You just don't know how to dance (waltz) as previously admitted in your other poetry.

Grins and smiles, This is a nice, lovely heartfelt poem.

Enjoyed the imagery and now I miss the beach myself.


Hugs, Pat

LOL...  you are right Pat... I don't know how to dance... and as explained above the disease I seem to be aflicted with will not let me be normal.

Ron,

How beautifully sad.  You know, I had a very nice experience at the beach not too long ago.  Just a walk really, but the water was beautiful and so was the company.

A sad blue note
Held in four four time
That matched the waves
Lapping at her feet

I would have waltzed with her there,


Perhaps he could change the beat- and overcome those two left feet? (sorry lol)

What`s Normal, Ron?

ALways enjoy your writes, this one is no exception.
