Beyond Compare

Love poem

Beyond Compare

I remember long ago
When love was at it's best,
The golden sand at sunset
The breathless kiss of zest.

The innocence of youth
The laughter and fun,
In ocean's waves
Under the midday sun.

Long ago when love was born
Admist the romance and the flowers,
We talked of the future under the stars
We lay on the golden sand for hours.

You were handsome beyond compare
Your tanned skin so soft to touch,
I could have embraced you forever
Because I loved you so very much.

I have dreamt about you often
You were my girlhood dream from the start,
Why did you go swimming in the ocean that night?
Now I have to live with a broken heart.

A tragic story

This is a beautifully crafted piece. The transition from euphoric beauty to pain and loss is devastatingly effective. I felt a slight sense of grief, of sadness and sympathy for characters i barely know, and that in itself is the trait of a good writer.
