Oh, how I missed you, Lonely Beach, <br />Where I have left my soul, <br />The rugged rocks surround me, <br />I sit there, lost, alone. <br /> <br />Before me is the ocean, <br />The stormy Irish Sea, <br />It comes to me, I’m part of you, <br />And know, you’re part of me. <br /> <br />You send a wave to kiss my feet, <br />And then you back away, <br />You tantalise, you hypnotise, <br />You hold me, make me sway. <br /> <br />I grip the rock to steady me, <br />Lest I fall in too deep, <br />I’m lost in love for you now, <br />The way back now, so steep. <br /> <br />Another wave comes crashing, <br />Bestows a gentle kiss, <br />And now I get to taste you, <br />You linger on my lips. <br /> <br />I’m filled now with a passion, <br />For you, I can’t ignore, <br />I’m satisfied, contented, <br />And leave you on the shore.<br /><br />Linda Harnett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-lonely-beach/
