What tales can you tell, and how far did you roam?

Tossed about, in the waves, collecting the foam

Sifted, with the sands, tis where you lay, in waste

How sad, the rest of you, must have been misplaced

Drifting on the open waters, tarnished by the sea

Do you wonder where, and why, this is your place to be?

You wait, and hope, for someone, to find you most attractive

Perhaps a coffee table piece, one that’s quite abstractive

I think I rather like the way, you look here, on the beach

I’ll tuck you underneath the rocks, and keep you out of reach

From the tides that wander in and out, with never any care

I don’t wish them to take you back, they have had their share

I changed my mind, I’ll take you, I know the perfect place

You can decorate my garden, tucked in the perfect space

Your love is like the ocean

An endless sea of soft waves

Flowing over me, caressing

Cooling the fire that burns

Inside of me, I hear the roar

Like the tide, it crashes down

Then, recedes, into the deep

Let me drink of you, taste

The saltiness of your skin

The ebb and flow of desire

It knows no depth, my love

Only that we became one

Two souls united, our tiny grains

Blended, with the sands, sublime

Dusk ~ #writephoto

This is my first attempt at Sue Vincent’s Photo Prompt.  Every Thursday, Sue posts one of her pictures, and asks you to write based on your perception of the photo.  For more info, visit Sue’s blog.


A single light, one which shines ever so brightly, graces the heavens and earth, with a single spark. She illuminates the passing of the day, while readying the oceans for the evening tides. Crepuscular rays, emitted strategically over mountains, add to the aura of her beauty. White clouds, sailing peacefully across the water, remind me of a soft comfy blanket, waiting patiently to tuck me in. All is perfect in my world, as I breathe in the closing of today, and drift into the dreams of tomorrow.

Close to the surface

Seas roar, a mighty body

Where tides roam freely

Against the Tide ~ #freeverse #poetry

It’s rather abysmal, time sifting through

Like sands, fighting against the tide

We tread in shallow waters, afraid of the riptides

Still, we are pulled out, farther into the waves

Til we disappear, growing ever fainter

Like the setting sun, fading into the horizon
