Harbour Lights

Beside the harbour lights,
I sit and glance
at the sailing ships silhouetted
against the sangria sky.

I cast a silent sigh
as I savour
the sultry scent
of the cerulean sea,
reminiscing~
the first and last
forehead kiss
here~
beside the harbour lights.

What a fantastic little poem...compact and energised. Has a marvellous after-taste like a finest quality sherry: rich and appealing. Loved it! My very best wishes J.C. :) john

A lovely picture painted in words that captures so well your thoughts and a moment in time. I love that word 'cerulean' to describe the sea's colour.
