Once Our Lips Meet
~
Hand in hand we walk along
this dusk bathed beach,
reaching past sandcastles and starfish,
narrowing beyond the furthest footprints
our path has imprinted in the sand,
bidding farewell to a sun
now painting a twilight masterpiece
on a wavering horizon,
longing the cool evening’s embrace
to caress us in sea breeze bliss,
welcoming the tide’s white foam outlines
silently approaching weathered dunes
where we now pause,
and as I lean in to kiss you
I steal one more glimpse
of nature’s panoramic beauty,
for I know once our lips meet,
everything else will disappear
