Rented Sun-Beds

I feel the sand flittering between my toes As the sun gently eases my worldly woes And rented sun-beds all neatly placed in rows. A crowded beach where the happy children scream As licking tongues catch drips of melting ice creams Yet still my mind can drift to the silent dreams. Of summers past, when we would slowly walk Along the soft shore line while our whispers talk But we couldn’t hear the lonely seagull squawk Distant days when love knew of no earthly bound And only we knew where such love could be found In melted kisses, without a single sound. So sweet the kisses scented by ocean’s wave That fuels the senses as they begin to crave For the heart to be bolder, a little brave. We dared to make impassioned love by the see On a beach that once belonged to you and me When we were both young and truly living free.
