Rising tides

malubotelho

Full moon,
two bodies
Engaged under clear sky
Slick rocks, breaking waves

Mighty tides
Rising strong high

lost in love

they never made out
for them
the next day, never came by.

      Living on an island, your lovely poem reminded me of a few instances where people were swept out to sea, never to be found again. That's why never turn your back to the ocean.
      I really like how you ended the poem 'for them, the next day, never came by'. So we must enjoy and make the best out of today!

        Yes Fred, you right. Today is all we have. Better saying. This moment is all we have. For this couple I believe they had a great last night. Tragic next day though.

          At least they crossed over with a smile on their face and love in their heart!

              Love kills. Love chills. Love wills. Love fills. Love thrills. Love on the rocks, no big surprise. Amazing the dangerous places we have chosen to make love....... i'm not telling.

                  Wow fabulous.! But poignant end all so poetic. I admire how much u can say in brevity. Intense apt imagery painted in words. Kudos.

                  Do have a look at my writings too, But comment only on the one u like best. I write on many sites and they do enjoy my poetry or get Sth from it.
