My Shore Poem by James Casey

My Shore

It is dangerous, being out so late.
What brought you out, a twist of fate.
What made you drive, out so far.
Have you followed, the brightest star?

You let it guide you, and watched it shine.
A light so bright, and so divine.
It's really fresh, in this night air.
The breeze blows gently, through your hair.

You turn your face, so I can see.
Into the breeze, you're teasing me.
Your eyes, only slightly closed.
Your great beauty, is then exposed.

At long last, you look up.
I reach toward you, your face I cup.
Leaning forward, your lips I kiss.
They're soft, and sweet, full of tenderness.

Your eyes so trusting, the stories they tell
Of times before, you remember them well.
A treasure you are, waiting to be found.
A lucky man I am, holding you sound.

I'll hold you close, keep you near.
Shelter you, end all your fear.
It's alright, you're safe with me.
I'll never hurt you, you will see.

Your trust in me, I have learned.
Can not be bought, but something earned.
Long ago, to disagree I would.
But not now, I know I never could.

My love for you, is everlasting
Strong and vibrant, the spell your casting
I hold you now, and forevermore.
I am the sea, you are my shore
