Golden Delicious

Who would have thought
That a few days before
As we clung for our lives
Cast on yon sandy shore
 
To see Carolyn there
Against the tree
Not a care in the world
Her mind roaming free
 
Long blond hair
Shouldered slight
Captured by the sun
Golden delight
 
Her long white dress
Frayed and torn
Visible image
From our previous storm
 
Revealing shoulders
Back home would be frowned
You should see her now
Like a sexy gown
 
In her hands she clasps
A flower unknown
Something we learnt
To take back as her own
 
It's reddish pink colour
Matches her lips
To be so close
Makes my heart skip
 
The breaking waves
To her beauty they applaud
Seabirds in flight
In fly by, awed
 
A lapse of time
She raises her head
Eye to eye
The evenings read

I've written a few poems purely down to dedication of people whom have enlightened me with their poetry, male and female. Poets on here have written about me, and all I can do is blush, smile and feel totally honoured, James :)x

I wanted to read this thinking it was about the best apples on Earth! However, I was pleasantly surprised to read a description of a man falling in love with the image of a woman. To me it almost seemed like a wedding seen on the beach. Truly beautiful image and completely captivating! That's the way anyone would love to be described by someone who loved them. Lovely poem!

I can see the Highlander standing on the same shore, strong and tanned from the island sun. Surely this would be a site all seabirds would covet. Thank you for being my partner in poetry and for all of the uplifting verses we have shared. Love you! Carolyn
