Love’s Lament
Pic courtesy Vivek
The waves heard my secret
From the gentle breeze that blew
When my love whispered
The words I love you.
They ran with joyous roar
To tell it to the shore
The sands who knew
Blushed in the orange hue
The breeze then told the trees
To the clouds and the bees
And blew on carefree
Across the listening sea.
Murmuring to the sun
The breeze watched the fun
As hearing all
It turned red overall.
I heard my love whisper
The words I longed to hear
And the naughty breeze
Being such a tease.
I let my heart soar
For a moment not more
Have dawn and the dusk
Ever met before??

“Beautiful is this love poem
It makes my neck pulse quicken
I’m down at the beach reading it on the shore
My emotions taking a licking”
