Notes About The Poem

A Kaleidoscope of Love

It was on our honeymoon.
We strolled along the seashore
Towards the lonely lighthouse
Our souls bonding our love,
Renewing our marriage vows,
As hand in hand we trudged 
Upon the wet sand
Despite the torrential beauty 
Of a lonely winter night.
The raucous calls of tired gulls echoed
The thoughts that swirled in our minds, 
Urging us towards sweeter dreams, 
When all our wishes would come true.
 
We slowly climbed the rickety steps
That led towards the lighthouse top.
We watched the waves below 
As they dashed against the black rocks,
Performing their deathly dance.
We turned inside for respite
From the storm raging outside.
Our souls stirred us into a loving embrace
Our kisses gleamed 
As once the lighthouse beam.
We cared not for the world:
Outside the dark night waited 
With its frigid gelid grip.
Inside the lighthouse flashed
Like a kaleidoscope of love.

This is so lovely and romantic. Taking respite from the cold night in the warmth of the old lighthouse. The sound of the rushing waves against the shore. Love it. God Bless, JB

Great imagery of love coming to life. I miss walking on the coast and watching the surf come up to shore and the splash of water cooling. The lighthouse has meaning of life to be seen and rescued. Hugs Eve
