Do You like Sunsets?

Augustus

Will you take my hand and walk with me?

Out there. See, by the sea, where

The sun settles so  sensationally,

It's coral glare filtered through strands of hair.

There. An image of a salt water swell

Surges rich color to your cheeks,

Like Henri Matisse adding the final

Brushings, strokes and piques.

The waves bounce and dance,

A cadence to our romance.

And your eyes sparkle to the sea.

The sand, still warm, caresses our feet,

The prints of which point inwardly.

Bright multicolored clouds gather

To celebrate fealty, fidelity

As the sun humbles to the sea

And hearts quiver each a plea.

The wind whispers. Brows broaden,

Lids lower, lips soften,

Knees weaken, as nature speaks.

    Really cool Augustus. My favorite place is being on the beach in the summer. And, I have sailed in the past and have such respect for the power of the wind and sea. Great job on the poem.

      This was after a walk with my wife in October on the beach in Mississippi. It was morning and not sunset, but it was written for her and a memory of that day. Thanks.

                  I sank away dreaming into this one . beautifully written Augustus.

                    As we stood in the wet sand we sank a little too. Thanks.

                    Your poem took me away to a beautiful place. Though i live near a beach, it is winter. It is a nice place to cherish and walk along the coastline with my husband. Thanks for taking me there in my mind!
