Today a friend sent me a link to a Cat Stevens song, Sad Lisa.
Cat Steven's haunting lyrics and soulful melody inspired me to write the poem below.
I hope you enjoy my poem and Cat Stevens's song.
THE SEA WALL
One after the other
The waves crash against the old seawall
Sending up a salty foam
High up over the wall.
I put my hand out and touch the wall
And I can feel the power of each crashing wave
That like battering rams
Pounds the ancient wall.
I walk along the sea wall
Looking for an opening
To the sandy shore below
Finally, through a secret crevice I sneak down.
I find a hidden corner,
A safe place.
Away from the noise
Away from prying eyes
I strip out of my clothes
And lay down on the soft, white sands
Closing my eyes
I feel the sun's warm embrace.
Soon, I feel my lover
Going inside me.
Deeper and deeper
I feel his love move.
He presses his weight against me
His lips touching mine.
Sweeter and sweeter
His lips upon my face.
He touches me and
I hear my lover's words,
Closer and closer,
His words upon my heart.
I lose time
While wave after wave
Washes over my body
Making me weak, draining me of my strength
When I finally open my eyes
I see his face
Silhouetted against
The white moon floating above.
Deeper and deeper
His love moves inside me.
Sweeter and sweeter
His lips brush against my face
Closer and closer,
His words stir my heart.
