Beach Bliss

"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar ... " - Lord Byron I met my love at twilight by the beach. We strolled along – feet walking bare on sand. We found a lovely spot and there we laid our blanket down to sit and watch the sea. The sky was beautiful – soft violet. It melded with the sea, and we could hear wind softly sighing too; my sweetheart leaned in for a kiss; his kisses made me melt, for he was like that sky of violet whose magic touched the sea before the night concealed its azure blue as darkness fell. My lover’s breath upon my neck became wind’s susurration whispering sweet bliss. We moaned as breakers roared and crashed onto the shore upon which I and my love moved in rhythm to the waters swell. Once quelled, in one another’s arms we lay, content. As warm wind wafted over us, we too were drifting with it into dreamy sleep.

Dear Andrea, this is a beautifully visual and sensual poem. I love the use of colour that greatly enhances the perfect beach setting. A soft violet sky - gorgeous! ‘ For he was like that sky of violet whose magic touched the sea before the night concealed its azure blue as darkness fell’. Stunning lines. A real dreamy feel as you read this delightful poem. Love the quote too from one of the greats. Good luck in the contest. I’m sure Constance will appreciate everything I have reading this

Thanks so much. Blank verse is very easy. It's just Iambic meter without worrying about thyme

Andrea, your reference to the intimacy of this couple and the beach scene was erotic and pleasant. This is a description of a nice scene. I wish I were there! You have a very touching way of dealing with this subject.

Your description of how you "drifted into dreamy sleep" accompanied by the rhythmic blending of wind and water is excellent.

Dear Andrea, your twilight beach poem sweeps us into a sensual reverie! The lush imagery of violet skies melding with the sea transports us to a dream-like paradise. I loved how you captured the blissful intimacy of new lovers moving in rhythm with crashing waves in vivid, lyrical detail. This piece radiates passion and beauty, each line caressing the senses like a warm ocean breeze. Andrea this is a breathtaking romantic odyssey penned with a master's touch! - Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel
