Sunshine of You Love

I bask in your sunlight 
As I lay upon the shore 
Of your tranquil sea

Your love shines down upon me
Warming my skin 
And energizing my soul

Your cool sweet breath 
Stimulating my senses
As I watch the waves gently bow
And lay themselves at your feet.

Flora and fauna 
Rejoice in your glory
As they dance and sing 
In honor of your presence

Sand and shells 
Reflect the brilliance of your smile 
Across the expanse, 
of an endless summer sky.

As I lay here gazing 
Into your infinite beauty 
I feel my spirit ascend,

Carried away on thermals 
Created by your passion
As my mortal body is absorbed 
Into the moist sand, 

And I become one 
With all that you are.

The title instantly reminded me of a 1968 hit song by the defunct British rock group "Cream". This is a fanciful write that has me longing for those summer days at the New Jersey shore.

Hello Thomas, a beautiful poem. The imagery is merry..i like the energizing soul thought. A nice way in pin pointing when one meets his/her soul mate... Linda
