Love Letters in the Sand

Love
before sunrise…
I saw you there among the horizon, peering through the breaking of the first light. That gentleness like the morning star had me longing for more. More of you from the previous night. Let me embrace you like the feathery clouds in their afterglow. How serene am I in your bosom. Not a care in this world.
in the harborfront…
I am here standing at the boardwalk. Waiting for your ship to come. With the seagulls hovering above me and the seawaves frolicking along the breakwater. I have been here since your last voyage. Of chasing your dream and your freedom. But I have learned to let you go, and learned how to have hope. That you will come back to me. You will. And I am waiting still.
across the desert…
Like how the wind shapes the dunes, so your tenderness. Lovely as your affection embrace me in the moonlight. A thousand and one nights of dream. We are sharing the stars and the Orion guides us to discover the many secrets of our togetherness. I will sit here with you and let the wind softly whisper my heart’s song.
driving down the mountain…
Lovers we are among the long grass. I am driving down this maze, of finding a way to your heart. Keep you lingering in my mind and I never stop from wondering. Upon these rocks, the many faces of love etched by time. And stood witness to my deep devotion to you. I shouted your name out in the cliffs, and it echoes and created a lover’s melody.
watching the sunset…
Why do I feel sad, whenever the sun bades goodbye? Why do I feel sad when the sun finally vowed out among the ridge in the distance? Am I afraid that the memory of you will also leave me too soon? Even if I tried to stop the hands of time from turning, I am in my sweet surrender. But I know, that someday, in another time, in another place, there will be you and me. I know that even if it’s not me who is there with you, I will always wanted what makes you happy. And it is enough that I have loved you the way I could.

Such great prose-poem collection written in a unique way, I would say these are vignettes and I have written several pieces in this style.
I love the different backdrop in each piece, its sense of place gave this even a stronger impact and you weaved the imagery very finely.
The love expressed here to your muse is everlasting.
I believe in forever ~ for me love means forever, if not, I will contenue to pass on love until I find somebody who would think the same way.
I wish you well.

yeah, love transcends eternity.
