Scant Pulses of Soul Find Solitude

a sanguine set of sun
descants the symphony 
of ocean's pulse
within the confines
of my soul

i find serenity
in the depths 
of its hold
as my heart
serenades
in quickened strums
beneath the rise
of misted breaths
within the serein
of smoother skies
as they break
cloudless
above the wake

i feel the quake
of tongued whispers
as sand surrenders
below the wave's
firm caress 
hear the moans
in climatic gusts
as they thrush back
through the lure
of depths unknown
searching for something more
than this repetitive pressure
against its shores

my mind contours the same
through the grains of time
shattered in memories of fate
where soul escapes briefly
in salted stains
across folds
of ivory flesh
unseen

"hear the moans in climatic gusts as they thrush back through the lure of depths unknown" - I still cannot get over how sensuous the beach and the ocean have become. I cannot get over this line!
