A Sea-Side Walk With Sincerest Apology To Elizabeth Barrett Browning

The sand and sea were calling us Walking hand and hand was a will plus. From a story told It reads about a Princess weird and old.                              Never know if it will be victory or not. A blanket of blue above With clouds made out of love.                                              With all the majesty we do see The cliffs are giving out their plea.  With doom and gloom the grey water hits the rocks. The night came with a black sky It seemed to let out a cry.              The sun was gone It would be back at dawn.    With the stars not out the night was dreary. Connected are we Our hearts cannot flee.                              Fast and strong I will run Bringing along some fun.               Nature-love and beating hearts. Words were never said about the sea and cliffs They had been beautiful gifts.                                              Dark waves and stones they seemed to give off groans. Both of us hiding faces from our sadness.

also, "Connected are we Our hearts cannot flee. Fast and strong I will run Bringing along some fun. Nature-love and beating hearts." I have read some of Barrett-Browning's poems. This one I like, titled "Past & Future", https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43732/past-and-future
