WASH AWAY MY TEARS

Sitting on the shore gazing out to sea ..thoughts of love that is still inside of me

I see the sail disappearing
Upon the horizon blue.
Waves crashing on the shore
As mind thinks back to you.

You are like the sail
That no longer do I see.
Seems that a waft of wind
Has taken you from me.

Was it not so long ago
We sat upon this shore?
Words whisper of tomorrow.
We would be one forever more.

We laughed and giggled,
As waves washed sand between our toes
Words of I love you
From our lips so easily flowed.

Our bodies so entangled
On the blanket we did share.
Made love under moonbeams
As waves threw mist up in the air.

That was forty years ago
We made love upon this shore.
Still have that blanket
I will keep for ever more.

You are no longer with me
The tide has taken you away.
But in my mind and heart

There you will always stay.

So come sit here beside me
Whisper I love you in my ear.
Hold me close and hug me
And wash away my tears.

You take the cake! Whether it is about today or yesteryear you just don't fail to give us all you have. And that is alot!

Over my years, I can't tell you how many ridiculous items I have kept as reminders of lost loves, but no blankets! LOL!! This poem was nicely penned and I enjoyed clean and respectable way you spoke of making love!!! There are so many trashy poems out there about making love; I hate when I come across them!!!! However, the piece was a gem!!!!!
