Against The Rock. Poem by Laurie hill
Against The Rock.
The waves lap gently on the shore,
the moon is at its peak,
Winds cry against the scurried clouds,
like souls about to speak,
Stars glow a tapestry of light,
reflecting in your eyes,
And not a word will break this spell,
that seems to hypnotize.
The sands are all deserted now,
there's only you and me,
you in my arms against the rock,
Whil'st gazing out to sea.
Your back against my beating heart,
My arms around your waist,
my cheek against your silken hair,
within my soft embrace,
And soft your words I listen to,
and softer still your smile,
When you told me everything of you,
with not a notion, to beguile
the flickering flame of driftwood fire,
dance shadows on your face,
and warms the soul of one so fair,
within this special place.
Aww, this is so romantic. Everyone should have their special place. Again, and as always, romantic to the core :) Thank you for sharing.
A gently lyrical poem with warmth and tenderness to spare. It's such a joy to read traditional poetry that rhymes and scans so well. A fine romantic write. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Paints a picture...when I instantly get a picture in my mind, I know it is a good poem. Thanks.
What a beautifull romantic write, filled with so much heavenly imagery... It makes the reader feel as though they can actually hear the waves and the beating of two very warm hearts....... Bonnie
All of nature (the world and those in it) mesh perfectly to make a perfect moment. 'like souls about to speak' my favororite moment.
Exquisite imagery depicting words linked together as tenderly as arms around a waist - romance at it's best, thank you for this Laurie
Absolutely beautiful, your words evoke strong visuals and stir half forgotten memories
Exquisite rhyme, rhythm, atmosphere. The second verse is, for me, particularly special. Hard to write a romantic poem without going over the top, but you achieve it spectacularly.
A love poem that is just so romantic and so artfully crafted. The words lilt on and I never wanted it to stop. Your imagery is vivid and unforgettable. 10 Karin Anderson
