PLaced 1st: As I Watch the Waves Crash Contest by Anoucheka Gangabissoon

From precipice of memories, flashbacks nostalgic billow, Thinking of you as I ruminate, adoring the views below, Where waves oceanic dance, leaping on windy tempos, Propagating ambitions of tides, vying pristine sea shore; Rippling my thoughts, undulating with emotions of yore, Mesmerized in recollections lovingly brought to fore, Allured by longings unforgettable, yearning for more, Of your covert smile, enamored in friendship and love. Admiring beauty serene, negotiating crests and troughs, Immersing in nature’s awe, despite hurricanes and storms, Sailing on vigor of vitality, rowing with elation and joy, We built on hope and pride, rising and falling with tides; Adulating on apex of highs, descrying the lows of sighs, Turning pages of life, enchanting our hearts and minds, We watched seasons decaying, regenerating over time, Recognizing, in failures we sow, seeds of success in life. Though dreams of romance became nightmares of desires, We retain treasured albums, forever moments inspired, Of sacred truths unveiled, destinations exotic we sailed, Of dreams magical reveled, of themes our passions made; Hypnotizing me still, in glance of your glamorous smile, As I rejoice in tenor of then, remorseful of final goodbyes, Cherishing melodious sounds, echoing from arc of bygones, Gleaming our separate horizons, hosting asunder dawns.

Standing still on shore.. beholding in awe waves crashing.. reminiscing about what brings life to soul.. Love is always there sailing on oceans.. surfing waves.. clinging to winds.. the magic of Nature widens the smile.. deepens the longing and passion.. embellishes the seasons and lessens the weigh of time.. and your avid reader being here rejoicing all this wonder and artistry! Dear Vijay you ever amaze! Your poetry is always a treat to read! God bless you. Best regards.

"Allured by longings unforgettable, yearning for more, Of your covert smile, enamored in friendship and love." Love it! "Sailing on vigor of vitality, rowing with elation and joy, We built on hope and pride, rising and falling with tides;" Outstanding! So much I wish I could go back and change...should have knew then what honor and treasure it is to have been freely given another's love. Nothing more precious we own and can share.

You write your poetry with so much imagery in your verses.. I really love this stanza.. Adulating on apex of highs, descrying the lows of sighs, Turning pages of life, enchanting our hearts and minds, We watched seasons decaying, regenerating over time, Recognizing, in failures we sow, seeds of success in life.... This will do great in the contest..
