Where The Ocean Eats The Stars

...just fantasy...

Where The Ocean Eats The Stars

 

While sitting on this sandy beach,

taking in the night’s breeze,

counting grains of sand

in rhythm to the ocean waves,

I see you standing on the horizon

where sea and stars meet.

 

The ocean is calm tonight,

yesterday’s storm

has moved away

leaving a coconut tasting breeze

and fantasies of your kiss

that fills my heart with unease

and salty anticipation.

 

As the tides move in

and I watch its foamy waters recede,

I can’t help wonder

what it would be like

to hold your hand

out on that horizon

where the sea eats up the stars.

dearest Curt.... you have touched the Stars and
found the music of the Ocean as it wanders in the
Moon's glow. I have discovered the essence of
romance and the dance. Beautiful words and sweet as Coconut
breezes. truly, Pat

I love this one! The title is off the charts, the way it conjures up a vivid mental picture. So much imaginative imagery: "coconut-tasting breeze" . . . "foamy waters recede" . . . I love the romantic longing here & I would very much like to be the lady whose kisses you are dreaming about! *wink! wink!* (((HUGS)))

All life's cares vanish when reading romantic and lovely works like yours. You watch and create images, saving those snapshots for the ages. Combined with the classics, they add musicality that echoes and never overwhelms...:)............

[redzone]

absolutely thrilled that you did Ana... I love when your sneakers tip toe through my poems and even better when you enjoy the visit... as for Chopin he creates wonderful rich music doesn't he... the poem actually came to me as I was listening to this piece...

anyway, thank you Ana you are more than welcome here...

[Papaya]

yes, he does create wonderful music, one of my favourites. always happy to visit!

When yesterday's storms vanish and all you can taste is the romance of the sea air with that coconut tang, well, you are in love. "Where the sea eats up the stars"....how often I have watched the sun being eaten by the horizon and fantasized. Oh, Curt, this is my new favorite of yours. Incredible! Lydi**

Lydi, this is an "incredible review, thank you so much, you are much too kind to me... but no complaints, I'll take it... er.. I mean, thank you.. not sure what Chopin was thinking when he wrote the music I embedded, but the poem came from listening to it and it spoke of coconut and sea and standing with a lover on the horizon being eaten by stars and vice versa... I would like to have that again...
