Wanting

2010 Poetry



Waves splashing loudly against the cold rock,

the blue of night surrounding the mist’s dew.

Music in my soul as if composed by Bach,

causing feelings that were completely new.

You by my side as our new love grew,

warmth in our hearts as we stood in the cold,

wanting together that we would grow old.
