A Big Heart In the Sand

A big heart in the sand Beyond the weary water line alone in quelled explore These footprints lead uncharted miles, the first of many more To wander in a time once known, reflective worries gleam In sand dune wishes washed away and thoughts of what they mean This setting sun shall rise again, bring mornings to their due Softer shades to paint the way hypnotic scenes to view While on this beach of moon lit swirls I count each star above These tiny lights of missing you, still glisten of our love When now this silent vacant space, misplaced of harmony Where shadows play of times before and what this world could be Sitting here these shifting sands, my heart does swim the tide Ebb and flow desires sung, of tear drops cast aside When there a distant light appears, so deep within my stare A silhouette of fantasy approaching glistened flair I rub my eyes, once blurry, cleared for this that I now see Along a coast of sea foam dreams, you walking here to me To take me swift into your arms dark eyes to meet my gaze Longing for the past returned of brighter sunny days With lips afire on my own and rapid pulses pace The glow of evening’s summer light awash upon your face I watch as you proceed to draw a big heart in the sand Encompassing the two of us within it we now we stand Lulled of curved horizon’s smile, immersed this blushing sky Drenched in breaths of only you and every sultry sigh With midnight song and passion’s bliss we stroll again this sea Like waves that fall our endless strand forever, you and me Good night Soupers Have a great weekend See you again on Monday

Good weekend sendoff poem, Chris. Romantic suave w/great linguistic flow. You kinda are the master at that style though. Wonderful metaphors in this poem. I dig this poem a lot. Have a great weekend, my friend. Love and more love to you.

Lilting. You do lilting, as I understand it, consistently better than any other Souper I know. You lilting bounce is what I am referring to - it is smooth and awesome, Chris. To me, you have set your own bar high and I have never seen you fail it. I am unclear how she appeared / whether real or if they entered fantasy together, but I still love the poem and the talent ...

Thanks so very much CayCay. That is the first time "lilting" had been used to describe my work and I like it. :)
