O'er the seas an angel wishes

O’er the seas an angel wishes,

windswept smiles and blowing kisses

Breakfast tides awake the sand

to feature this enchanted land

 

Oceans green and aqua blues,

tinted morning shimmered hues

A wisp o’ wind doth touch her hair

of tapered breezes come to share

 

Upon her vessel pearly white

is born the beauty of her sight

So calm at peace and rest allure,

wonders cast from sculpted shore

 

Adrift to catch a sunny day,

amongst the waters she doth play

Turquoise eyes and skin divine,

I long to call this angel mine

 

I stand this beach in searching of,

that soon my heart shall find her love

As rippled waters bide their time

of deep expanse and salted brine

 

To sail this lonely castaway,

I fall upon my knees and pray

This angel sweet atop the sea,

shall find her way to only me

 

For on this day and after while,

alone she waits in precious style

Of shelled delight and softened wake

to bring within my heart to take

 

This song of coastal oceans main

I hear the melody again

And o’er this dream it can endure

to sail within her wings once more

The ocean represents so much heartache and hopefulness. I think of the wives that would wait for their husbands to return from sea, watching from the widow's walk, some of them never seeing their husbands again. How many hopeful hearts have pined away, wishing for love while sitting along the shore. It's like an ocean of tears. This poem is very soft and melodious, rolling across the shores of my mind like whitecaps to the shore. Well done.

You are right, but it also represents beauty and the mesmerizing rhythm of nature. Thank you for taking the time to read this one today.

It is such a pity that it takes your life, up until the now to find such a treasured lass. But at least when you do, the rest will only matter in one direction, the future.
Great rhythm and flow to your wimords, just like the melody she makes you hear.

I know, but it is better late than never I suppose.
You never know when that one will appear that truly does make your heart sing. Thanks my friend.
