Notes About The Poem

Ocean Whispers

Ocean Whispers

I sit on shore by windswept seas
    and feel the vibrant ocean breeze
As waves cascade upon the sand
    in breathless wonders of this land. 

I bask in balmy salty air 
      and feel the moistness in my hair.
Luna begins her lofty climb, 
    her silver beams are quite sublime. 

While in the distance boat lights glow 
    and sparkle like a starlit show.
Ocean magic enchants tonight
    to my romantic heart's delight. 

To skinny-dip, I soon undress
    in ocean swells with sweet caress
Secluded on this private shore 
    just waves and me that I adore.

Thank you very much Jan. I am thrilled that members seem to like my little ocean poem so much. I truly appreciate your sweet comment and Fave. I have been super busy too and I am sure I may have missed some of yours. I am slowly catching up. I can see better today.
