Walk Along the Shore

The moon shone down upon us 
where the ocean met the shore. 
As we laid there on the sand 
and dreamt of what's in store. 

Gently blew the ocean breeze 
that coolly kissed your cheek. 
A chill ran through your body, 
so I helped you to your feet. 

I put my arms around you 
in a strong and warm embrace; 
then gently brushed aside the hair 
which had blown into your face. 

In your eyes there was a longing 
to feel your lover's touch. 
I kissed your neck and whispered, 
I love you, oh so much. 

We walked along the shore 
as waves came crashing in. 
While softly glowed the moonlight 
on your lovely dark skin. 

We paused for just a moment 
to watch this peaceful scene. 
Then you softly whispered, 
is this really just a dream? 

Awakened from my slumber 
in this cold and lonely place 
I close my eyes again 
so that I may see your face.
