Love Poem: Low Tide

Low Tide

Orange brushstrokes on the horizon bleed into the red of the setting sun

The indigo sea silently extinguishes the crimson sun for another day

The tide out to its peak, the sand warm beneath our feet, fingers entwined

Our silence comfortable, our touch speaking for us, two hearts combined

The water gently laps the sand as we stand together watching the brilliant moon 
rise

You pull me close, my arm wrapped tightly across your shoulders, our hearts 
beating in time

Enjoying every aspect of my time with you, I know it will have to end soon, if only 
there was a way

I turn to you, wrapping you tightly in my arms, the sweet smell of your hair; I’ll 
make you mine one day
