Your last shadow
Cast long
Remembered in time
The nearby dunes
Fragments
Align.
The surf filled
Your footprints
Small pools
In the wake
The beach salt
To taste.
A gypsy dress
Tanned golden thighs
The pleasure of you
Filled my hungry eyes
The seagulls above
Crying out loud
Tender the breeze
The slow moving clouds.
Your last shadow
Remained
You went away
The tide covered
The place
Where we lay.

I loved the gentle weaving of metaphor into subtle foreshadowing in this poem The last stanza leaving the reader with the feeling of the relationship washed away with the incoming tide. Loved the imagery in this poem as well
