The air played tricks with the flavor of night
aromas of the sea descended in wispy clouds
the moon travelled low to edges of the tides
and multiplied its face in shimmered mirrors
slanted from my feet to the horizon
and I wanted the silent beams
to cover my back, while my eyes
adored and held her; like silver glows
above the waves, a gentle breeze
and slight romance upon the skin of the sea.
There was breath of wind upon my cheek
and my breath was given in soft sounds
to thank every touch and each moment
the wall of darkness held nothing from us,
and a ceiling of stars gave back each moment
a song in stolen raptures from sky and water
stirred salt air and easy motion.
In a list
Please tell me what you think

Memories
I really enjoyed this poem. Ocean and waves are my "happy place" lol so it was really relaxing and almost passionate to read. It really set an atmosphere. It sent me back to a summer trip I had 3 years ago. I wasn't near an ocean but, a big lake. My boyfriend and I were walking down a sand beach in the dark and kissed on the pier, listening to the coo of the loons. Thanks for the reminisce! It was beautiful!

Very, very good, 'Skid.

When you write love poems, you put emotions there that are scenes of a dream, and yet leave me think that they are very possible to come true.
As usual, warm thoughts and lovely sights all over the verses...
Beautiful feelings

Your words are tender and touching. They soothe the soul and edify the spirit. True Romance fills this work of words dear friend. I feel LOVE abounding, and a heart whet with excitement, although subtle. Beautiful! I love the water. It calms me to an almost passive state. Wonderful musing!
Much Love Always ♥

This is a write
that flows 'beside the ocean' - soft, slight and 'felt' in and with thought. The title is well chosen and gives life to the words that follow [and vice versa]. I enjoyed this so much, as I live by the sea, and on so many nights I am blessed with what you have written. You have given detail without any one of these taking 'limelight', but adding to the collage bit by bit and allowing the reader to both experience and enjoy. Ah, the final stanza is a lingering thought of 'silent' serenity! As always, I love your poems, and this one has done me well to read. Blessings to you. Frans
