Beach Poem by Ngetich Kiptoo

Beach



It’s sunset
Am on the beach barefoot
The sky’s rich, brilliant and varied
Like you

The water’s blue, cresting
It dips and rushes towards me
Soothing my burning being

I feel like resting
But I can’t
What can I do but pant?

I look at the sand
It’s pure, unsoiled as ever
Beneath me I feel its ebbing warmth

Your profile hovers around
In me loneliness abounds

Unto me you have been a lavender
Without you am going under

How can I hold onto these feelings?
How can I share them with you?
How can I quantify my hankering?

I dip into the ocean
It receives me, wholly
