A Sand Goddess Arises Fervently unveils his seaside Pygmalion At the pied a terre a sand goddess arises Sand casted are his piteous passions in sunstruck warm sand Stuck are her arms and legs trapped, controlling her very soul The recollection clears, an object of his affection a birth There is an energy sensed as sand and water caress his fingers He beholds, if only Aphrodite answers his prayer her breath of life be given this inanimate object Her saintly face faintly appears Features delicate, her hair etched in his mind His fingers gently shape and capture her likeness On Sandy Beach Lane he takes refuge from racing thoughts, thoughts of her that cannot be silenced An interview makes me ponder I ponder on her significance I listen to his cry, his laments I grow fonder of the lovers Inside their lifeless, godless, empty shells consumed by echoes in refrains I hear the volatile voices carry from both their lips, exhaustion unfurled by angers dance If she’d only see for herself, he bares a lost stricken soul Beach wear suits him nicely, flip flops and hat adorn him Kind is he to her as he scoops out sand Stooping over are his bronzed shoulders as he sculps feminine curves an hourglass figure An alluring Amazon an apotheosis angel* emerging from the sand At the pied a terre a sand goddess arises

What a beautiful poem! It captures the photo you took so well. I like the the feelings of the sand sculptor... it carries over well in the lines... the longing and love. If this is unedited... I'm an amateur writer. Well done. Thanks for sharing that amazing poem with me and for your comments on my page. Blessings

It's great fun to just write isn't it? Not everyone can improv or indeed feels comfortable enough to present anything but perfection. So glad you've embraced the idea Anaya. I enjoyed this poem x

Dilly, it is freeing, at first I wasn't sure, I am the kind of person who needs forms, until I'm on my own that is ;) Glad you enjoyed! hugs
