The Beach

in poetry •  7 years ago 

We were placed upon a beach with sand white and fair
With clear turquoise water that sparked light to share

The sky a moonlight dreamcape, stars shining ever bright
And golden trees and wind that blows along with little might

She was with me from when this eternal universe began
And for many moments, slowly we walked and we swam

The white sand beneath us and galaxy above our heads
Our fire before the water and beside that our wintry beds

For many a time the Gods watched us in hope and in thought
Where we shared and whispered gently of what we had sought

Though this love was pure, thoughtless, innocent and kind
There lay quiet demons who fought only to darken our minds

And from this beautiful hope came twists, turnings, and fears
Leaving and stealing her away from my damp eyes and tears

The endless waves now became empty, lifeless, and cold
Oh where she had gone, the elegant beach now only untold

But love evermore is neither gripped nor is it bound
And thus I traversed so that hope may be somehow found

The light as it's seen always guiding closely in man
Yet still dark in me as I hid and I ran

Those changes of all disappeared in their anguish and lust
And silently our beach had become grey blackish rust

I tried and I tried to speak with something of meaning
But I cried to my own from the fear of love's wicked cheating

Years later, I saw her again from upon a distance and a goodbye
The angel now gone and from her only a painful long sigh

The final eternity that had not been of just and of choice
Had arrived to the place which I knew I could not hoist

Farewell my sweet you have been kind to my sinning way
The beach of white and of blue is gone now, the trees do not sway

The galaxy and stars are above us no more
I am sorry I lost you with not but a roar

Beach is a beautiful destination, as water and sand are the most replenishing.

extraordinary @honeybee

So relaxing. It motivates me more to create too :)

I absolutely love this couplet:

"Though this love was pure, thoughtless, innocent and kind
There lay quiet demons who fought only to darken our minds"

It's been a while since I've read a contemporary poem that rhymes like this and is as refreshing as this. This one definitely struck a little fire in me. It reminds me of a girl I dated two summers ago. We were at the beach nearly 3 or 4 times a week. She cheated on me when I went away to college, so it obviously ended and now when I see that beach it's just this grey kind of bleeeehh. I've been dating a different girl for about a year now, but this still dug up some long neglected feelings. I look forward to reading more!
