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.

Who am I ?

Who am I???

I am me.

What you see...

is what I be. 

I show no more...

than just my self. 

I sit upon...

your i-shelf. 

I am a boy...

and no more. 

The boy you love.

I love you more.

To Surf

Dedicated to Leif

A simple love, 

the sky above, 

a board 

beneath 

my feet. 

I spend 

the day, 

all at sea, 

the salt 

that burns 

my cheeks. 

The steady throb, 

an endless tide, 

my hopes 

and dreams 

do soar. 

The sea, 

the sun, 

the salt, 

the surf... 

just me 

and 

the board.

Love surfing

Trapped amid a sea of blue, my thoughts do fly, they think of you.

I think of how you used to laugh, your smiling eyes, my other half.

We came together and were as one, but then our love became undone.

We took for granted the love we held, our thoughts entwined, a lovers meld.

And then we suddenly flew apart, the pain of which did burst my heart.

But once again we've learned to laugh, you are my friend, let's never part.

As summer ends

As summer sets upon the land
I reflect upon the golden sands
Of hopes and dreams and memories
Of pulsing waves, the summer breeze

I feel the emptiness approach
The dreams I had are but a ghost
The cold comes forth, I can not stand
As summer sets upon the land
