Joseph May Poet Free verse

Misty Repose

Hand in hand we walk along the shore
 as the sun, in its final sojourn, dips below the horizon
 We watch the lissome sway of the palm trees
 As the pinion of a seagull, seem to graze the fronds,
 Night falls softly, as silhouettes dot the sky

 A dark cloud passes by to besmirch
 the glow of the moon, and as a gentle breeze
 caresses us, we share a tender kiss
 Soon we are caught up in the throes of passion,
 oblivious to the melody of the waves

 Then the firmament releases a mist
  and as we lie in misty repose
 I gaze into her eyes, and she gazes back
 with a celestial mystery, orbiting
 each beat of my heart with her hazel eyes.
