Watch The Sea, My Love Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

This poem is similar in impact to the Monsignor poem but in this case there is a deep intimacy running just beneath the narrator's words. Thuis is a breathless moment when the normal running of the world is muted so that we can hear the hearts beating in tandem. You don; t say that directly - it's what I intuit from imagery of a very still night by the sea which almost functions like an enclosure protecting the speaker and his partner. It's a sensuous perception.
