Sands

Sands



Alone in the sands that 
lie beneath my feet 
between the unknown 
and far from the seas
Desolate situations    
can only bring me to believe 
to the peace I’m in
feeling so free
A star in the sky
so far away 
can drift to me closer 
If I stare in a certain way 
Through all the clouds 
over stormy nights
passionate kisses 
longing for one more night 
just to be alone with you
Can you feel me as I write?

"between the unknown" and "through all the clouds" I can feel your words of love. This is beautiful, romantic and tender. Holding a deep longing within. I'm in complete awe. ~ Brandy

You really cover the depth and breadth of romance and the romantic, Matt. Lovely images and I love your last line. You have strong verbs and really capture the sensation of separation "so far way." It is truly a lovely poem of longing.

I’m really happy you enjoyed it. I try to allow readers to hopefully FEEL THE PASSION of the words of my work. This is my soul being poured into my words. Maybe someday I can get paid for it. Lol thanks again

Well hello there you! I’m trying to honestly have my work by anyway possible enlighten somebody’s day! If I can do that I’ve accomplished something that can maybe make someone’s day better.
