Poetry by the Sea

Oh, how I long for peaceful tranquillity,
a secluded spot ,
somewhere hot,
somewhere by the sea.

There,  I would just sit and sit,
mesmerised by the beauty of it.
There,  I would pick up my pen,
which I would write the happiest of poetry again...

Not like the dark poetry that I write now,
I would be so happy,
I wouldn't know how.

I would love a place free from distraction,
solitude and tranquillity are my greatest attraction.
That unique sound that can only be found within earshot of a beach,
The sound of the waves ending,
as they forever stretch their reach.

The birds that are heard are unique to the oceans sky,
Although you can hear them occasionally inland
but I really don't know why.

Why would any living creature tear itself away from such a beautiful place,
especially on a hot summers day.
I love the sun and I love the heat,
I love it when it is hot.
So,   I would be eternally happy sitting and writing poetry in my peaceful summer spot.
