Seafoam dreams

~

 

A cresting wave of shimmered light

caresses soft this slumbered shore

With moonbeam whispers on the night

in ocean scenes and moments pure

 

As waters kiss the waiting sand,

desires drench this coastal place

Midst salted breezes flow the land

entice the smile on your face

 

To find upon this beach we lie

our glistened skin in stardust gleam

Beneath a diamond dusted sky

alone amidst a seafoam dream

Beautifully written, Will, it touched all my five senses.
Just curious ...From Here to Eternity, Burt Lancaster, Deborah Kerr ...with you in the Lancaster role
? :)

Do you mean who is with me in the surf...maybe that girl you just wrote about...I mean if she could lower herself to my level. : ) And if not...maybe...Amy Adams or Lucy Lawless. : )

[JD Major]

Actually I meant is it you playing the Lancaster role? haha ...but I do like your co-star choices :)

[willweb]

Ah, not sure I could talk like Lancaster but I could try. : )

I have to pick the same line as Linda

Beneath a diamond dusted sky

that’s one to remember.
Your stanzas create such wonderful romantic night time imagery will. Lovely creative work here.

Thank you so very much Chris. I appreciate your kind thoughts. Me and the beach and the stars...we have a special relationship. : )

A true 'ferryman poem' which ferried me to that poetic place which the Parnassus to Elysian fields. The urge is to seek out the like and save button of social media so this little response will have to do.

Thanks my friend. I am happy this beach called your name.

[redd Brick Keshner]

Oh my, it's the beach life for me! Actually lived in a hut/cottage by the shore, full wrap around verandah and palm roofing!

[willweb]

Nice, that sounds like fun to me.

"Beneath a diamond dusted sky ... "

This line is just stupendous. While the overall poem is grand, this line just speaks to me.

Well done.

Thank you again Linda. To me, a quiet beach at night with the stars and the moon looking down is a magical place of romance. I am happy you liked this.
