Beach

For Victoria

I sit far away from you

on a hill of powdery sand

Inhaling slowly, listening 

to your feet patter on wet ground

As I protect my eyes

from a desperate sun

I can see in the distance

your softened silhouette

Jealous of your grace, 

the waves try to consume you

But smiling, you float gently

On the expanse of rippling glass

Neither the song of the deep

nor the whisps of cloud above

can avert my endless gaze

from your shadow embraced by mist

With each breath you take, 

Another night without sleep

Flies far from recollection

Into the line where sky fades into sea

You turn to me, 

your hair softly sifting,

but I dare not corrupt

this dream with my presence

So here I will stay

Blind in the haze of your beauty

And blessed with a sight

I can dream of for a long, long time.

Jealous of your grace,

Me too! I feel like it's just the right amount of people, plus it's not terribly far from LA.
