Solitude lulls me

A love as deep as the oceans...

 

 

Solitude lulls me

 

 

Soft sand, quill feather dreams float silently as

aquamarine emotions take me there

on tides of sapphire sea spray waves,

beneath sighing tiffany blue skies

 

“I sleep, so I may dream of you,

on wind swept wings, forever true”

 

Caressing my body as I slumber,

this sea, my warmth, my comforting wrap

keeps me safe in the glistening bounty of all that is beautiful,

while my mind ebbs to its melodic sound

 

“Solitude lulls me, on whispering waves,

singing the rhythm of warm summer days” 

 

My eyes now closed, still witness visions of aquatic peace,

harmony on polished glass, mirrored by a morning light

along crescent shores and weathered dune desires,

resting somewhere between the pages of this I keep

 

“Your poetry my world, if ever we’re apart,

touches me with splendor, so soft upon my heart”

 

Soon I shall rise with the sun, framed by green mountains

and terra cotta sands, to walk among the ermine white foam,

tracing my steps and following my every thought

of you

 

“This love, as any ocean deep,

            within my heart, for you I keep”

Surpassed my expectations by leaps and bounds Jack, love this...it's stunning, I fell in love with that image, I knew you were the only person that could do it justice, I was so right about that. I love it to pieces, thank you my sweet friend!
