Poetry: A day at the beach

My first day at the beach

You could have seen me

Like a kid in a candy store

Running the length of the sea

It wouldn't have been magic

If I'd been there before.

I don't know what I may have

Seen as a child

But I closed my eyes, sniffed the air

Let my imagination run wild.

I lay down on the sand

Grabbed every wave that came there.

I stood and I wondered

At the majestic around

And the sound of the conch at my ear

Was like surround sound.

A song burst from my heart but I did not sing aloud

The one deep inside was only for the Gods to hear.

The break of a virgin is a sensitive breach

And I'll never forget my first time

At the beach.

    Slipping through swollen fingers.

    Emerald eyes radiate joy

    As the memory of youth lingers.

    Salt mixed

    From the beach you watch the waves roll in,

    let them come to you, let it begin.

    They bring with them the essence of

    Gulls scythe the skies with their wings and cries
    Mad from endless journeys on ceaseless seas.

    Wind whips sand against my
