The summer sun sets our bodies to glisten
Sounds of the waves make us stop and listen
Of love and lust the sea whispers discreetly
Lovers can hear it and obey completely
The warm water washes away our past sin
Like Venus we're birthed from the sea to begin
And so like her subjects obey her command
Embrace and make love in the soft ocean sand

"Of love and lust the sea whispers discreetly"... I love this!
oo la la...just watch where you get the sand...just saying....
And here I am stuck in Kansas. Closest thing to a beach here is the sandbox over at the pre-school. Sigh.
Lovely sentiments, well done! You know your craft. The alliteration in "warm water washes" was perfect!
Thank you for your kind words on my tornado story!
Best-
Very beautiful, the words just flowed like a wave.
Okay!
There must be no more wonderful place than to be 'swept away' than on a sandy beach with the ocean sounds in the background! Lovely.
Whether it's called the beach/coast/sea/seaside...the beach always conjures up so many emotions.
"Of love and lust the sea whispers discreetly
Lovers can hear it and obey completely"...nice!
In my youth I lived near the sea and spent a good portion of my life in it. Now I am stuck in the center of the country a bazillion miles away from anything. And now and then when I am real quiet i can hear the water calling me. I'm going to have to go back some day.
Perfect mindset for lush and lazy summer.
amazing.
please nominate a poet for week 47.
Cheers,
Sounds like a plan. Thats why I love me some beach. Great job.
Romantic ocean setting, classic ideals of oneness and connection. Something so vast in contrast makes us feel small and need each other more. Great contrast in poetic form. The rhyme works well and the imagery flows smoothly.
Congratulations on receiving the award!
I agree with Laurie that is a fabulous line! Beautiful and romantic
This is beautiful. There is just something about the sea that beckons us all.
Very pretty poem, but it reminds me of how uncomfortable sex on the beach actually is. Sad does not belong in some places . . .
Congrats on the award and the very cool write
Very nice poem. But watch out for that sand, it gets into places and chafes...

I can just shut my eyes and picture it, despite the rain drumming down outside!
Yikes! Such sensual writing. I can hear the whispering sea.
This really had an ebb and flow to it! The sand, the beach and summer loving'. Hmm, I suggest a HUGE beach towel, though! :)
Congratulations on the award. And a well written poem, very romantic.
The words simply flowed. And it has kinda rekindled that 'I'd love to do it on a beach' fantasy I had as a young slip of a thing.....*sigh*
A lovely summer poem! It's winter where I am so I found this really wonderful to read and warm up my day. such a sensual and playful poem. I enjoyed this a lot. :-)
the rhythm of your words moved along like gentle waves washing upon the shore.
I can feel the gentle swish of water on the sand in your words. Very peaceful. A letting go. And congratulations on your award! Cindy
That was beautiful thank you
