Image result for sunset storm beach

Lost, deep, among the grasses of the dunes A summer shower rinsed us, sweet and warm As, breathing in my ear, your steamy runes I tasted drops of sea mist from your form Our late-day passions ended as the storm Was blushed to silence by the melting sun The swirling stars, like fireflies in a swarm Told painted clouds the evening had begun And by a waking moon ... our lover's dreams were spun. - June 24, 2018 - ~ 1st Place ~ in the "End June 2018 Premiere Any Form" Poetry Contest, Brian Strand, Sponsor. ~ 8th Place ~ in the "Summer Rain Storm 2, Spencerian Stanza" Poetry Contest, Dale Gregory Cozart, Sponsor.

Loved the comparison of stars to fireflies, tasting the sea on her body. That would've started a whole new storm...but 8th place? so much more worthy hmmmm
