By the Sea… Poetry for a Sunday
Though this is a work in progress, it has a certain tropical mood that I want to be enveloped in, to chase away the February freezes. Join me in paradise…
By the Sea by Therese Haberman
Silky sunrise found purple sky
She walks among shaggy palms
To the old gray wall
A hundred dark years embedded.
Rolling waves tread on warm sand
Whisper fragile things and talk of love
She watches a blue sea
Lost in the froth of her desires.
One faded low voice from the courtyard
Words rising to the window of clouds
Thunder of hot desire
Fills her aching memory.
Echoes of falling angels
Found behind her bare eyes
Soft dreams remembered
Hand-in-hand reunited
Footsteps fade into the dunes
by seabreezes.
