the day was waking up 

as we walked along the shore

the ocean wore a dress of azure blue

with a bit of white lace at the collar

the water kissed my toes

as you  kissed my lips

and the velvet day began

The imagery can't be ignored. It takes you to the beach and drops the reader in a picturesque setting that so many are familiar with and treasure for an eternity. The sounds of the waves breaking can soothe the most rigid of souls. Now i wish I was on the beach!

Lydi... my favorite poem ever of yours...
The Ocean wore a dress of Azure blue... so gentle as the water kissed your toes and your lips kissed by love.. Romantically tendered.
truly, Pat
