By Love's Shore

You stand by love's shore, 
your golden temple shining. 
A beautiful sun, 
glory ever rising true, 
come now walk into my soul.

You stand by love's shore, 
a breeze now does kiss your flesh. 
Gentle dreams of love, 
softly caressing your soul, 
your smile is sweet perfection.

You stand by love's shore, 
Aphrodite shining bright. 
You are beauty’s rose, 
the song of love in my heart, 
forever smile in my soul.

Hi Caren, thank you for dropping by and the comment, it is much appreciated. I am so glad you liked the piece. I didn't quite know if it would work in the Tanka form but it seems to have turned out quite well. Have a wonderful Saturday. Hugs always ..... Mike. XX
