Notes About The Poem

Sometimes the best love affairs are the ones that only happen in your mind.

Blue-Gray Waves

The sun is gone behind the clouds,
Soft shades of misty blue.
Gentle waves lap at the shore,
And through the mist I see you.

You're pullin' in your net again.
You set your sail against the haze.
You disappear behind the mist,
Hidden from my quiet gaze.

Blue-gray clouds engulf the shore.
You never saw my silent wave.
You never knew that I was there.
Your eyes beheld but blue-gray waves.

Oh, I got chills as each line took me further back in romantic themed, historical fiction. It all came to life for me and your talent behind it shines admirably. A poem for every romantic and/or escapist. I'm on both lists! Hugs ... CayCay
