Sand Promises

I never will forget our sunny days and how we strolled on the beach hand in hand. Like flaming twilight, our souls were ablaze, We’d end up on our blanket on the sand and feeling magic as we watched the sky. Its sun slid brilliantly into the sea. We sat there wordless – quiet as a sigh - nobody else around – just you and me. As night grew cool, we’d cuddle underneath our blanket, sharing one another’s dreams. Your plans for us filled me with such wonder; a future as beautiful as dawn’s first beams, but like the sand, those promises slipped through our fingers; bittersweet are thoughts of you.

Promises slipped through our fingers; bittersweet are thoughts of you. Miss those times enjoying such memories as this. Great feeling and imagery I enjoyed reading my friend.

The ocean, two people in love, I expected a storybook ending. I was pleased with the final sentence. Thus is a poem bravely written. Have a Happy Valentine Day anyway. May your future be happy.

As Poe said: "I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand — How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep, While I weep — while I weep! O God! Can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp?" -- Very poignant write. Very deep and meaningful.

This starts off light and fluffy but quickly turns sad and melancholy. In the end it makes for great poetry
