Two young friends sit on a promontory
     overlooking the windswept 
sea as a lonely lighthouse studies their 
      actions unnoticed.
They converse excitedly about the gift
     of a crimson parasol 
from a handsome new lad at school.
      Their hearts soar as they 
dream wild romantic thoughts as the   
       sound of the waves enchant.

There's something wild about 
      being near the waves…
Hearing their last hurrah as they 
      hit the sandy shore.
Bursting bubbles of white 
      foam on wet sand,
The only evidence of their 
      brief existence, save the
Sea salt scent wafting in 
      the wild wayward wind.

Then there is the chameleon 
      colors mesmerizing eyes
As the sun and clouds play 
      with light 'til day is done,
And the orange orb slowly sinks 
      below the sea's horizon
Sharing a romantic kiss goodbye 
      with the twilight sky.

Beautifully described, and like the two friends on the beach we partake of the sea's enchantment; what a better place for romantic feelings to flow together with the waves! We who live by the sea are so lucky, I suppose! ~ Regards // paul
