Under a Tangerine Sky

a little romantic fantasy..

art ~ Ray Leaning

 

~~~

When the tide returns to sea

and the warmth of the sun

paints tiny ribbons of orange and gold across the sky

 

I wake to find you

 

A kiss on my pillow

under a tangerine sky

and I smile with delight…for I had dreamt of us

 

Sailing on a sea of fantasy

rising with the tide,

falling upon the silken shore

your touch as soft as the sand beneath us

your breath as warm on my neck

as the dawn

awakening your sleepy eyes

 

…as the tide rises once more

~~~

Can I say Julie, "I rest me case"... too late already did.. yep, Julie is a "romantic poet"... its not just the words (though they reveal so much), but the underlying warmth and desire, that "smile of delight" and the longing seeping into creaves we only have hoped for in finding love.. and the last few lines: "your touch as soft as the sand beneath us/your breath as warm on my neck/as the dawn/
awakening your sleepy eyes/…as the tide rises once more" they just left me with a smile... wonderful poem Julie... ~~redzone

Curt, Ok...you've got me now...yes a hopeless romantic..perhaps its the sound of the ocean or the song of the seabirds..who knows..

I do appreciate you and your friendship. Your comments always leave me with a smile.

MsJewel,
Let imagination be our strength. Let romance keep us alive. Let love be our banner. Your poem brought these things to my mind. To look at life and be aware and thankful is so lovely. Sweet phrase you shared:
"Sailing on a sea of fantasy
The title: "Under a Tangerine Sky" is one of life and passion.
Love this.
Blessings,
Kathy

Enchanting, the melodic music of the ocean softly lapping the sand, a salt air breeze whispering beneath sunrise skies...romance is alive and blooming from your pen my friend. Very beautifully written and presented.
