The Naked Beach

If I sat naked, as if in a dream, would it be beauty? 

Or something obscene?

The waves beat my breast, the sand drags me down, 

the ocean deserts me, a body half drowned.

If I was to hope, to be by your side, 

would you welcome me back or just try and hide?

One day we shall meet, united again, 

despite all the tides, our hearts they will mend. 

I long for the day, to lay by your side, 

nothing but love, nothing to hide.

My Dear

It's winter now, I miss the beach. The surf, the sand, beyond my reach. 

I sit and stare, through windows bare and wait for sunny days. 

I miss the warmth upon my skin, the ocean depths I love to swim, 

I miss the boys I share my world within. 

But most of all I miss his smile, I miss him more than once in a while. 

I only have my memories to share. 

But I know he is coming home, and in my arms he'll never roam. 

I miss the sand, I miss his smile, 

my dear.

My lover...

My lover...

take my hand

of wet

surf sand

and hold

me tight

at last.

Keep a grip

don't let me slip

firm within

your grasp.

Keep me safe

from all

that try. 

Keep me

close to you.

Be my shield

and be my world

and I'll

be that

to you.

A Year

As summer ends

and fades the day, 

I glance aback 

to yesterday. 

I think of us 

and what we mean 

to me.

As Autumn dawns 

and leaves do drop, 

our past reserved 

but not forgot. 

I think of us 

and what we still 

could be. 

As Winters chill 

begins its yawn, 

a frosty start, 

a chilly dawn. 

I think of us 

and what is planned 

you see.

As Spring does burst 

from shattered night, 

the birds aloft 

in scattered flight, 

but home to roost

you come, 

our destiny.

Feel me

See me here,

feel me now.

Wish me luck,

don't know how.

I am such a lucky boy,

happy, loving, full of joy. 

Life for me is on the beach, 

my love entwined within my reach. 

Golden sands and lapping waves, 

the breathless sun, my hopes are brave. 

I live my life just how I please, 

the drooping clouds blown off by breeze.

See me now as ne'er before, 

I have my life... to explore.

So see me leave, 

see me go. 

When I return, 

please say hello.
