E S II Walking alongside the quiet beach Our feet sinking into the soft sand I sigh softly As we gazed out over the wide ocean As I put my hand in front of my face The other holding your hand The cool ocean breeze softly blows my hair back Along with my white's summer dress As we continued walking alongside the beach Gazing at the seemingly endless stretch of sand I gripped your hand just a bit tighter Letting the warmth from your hand seep into mine. Stopping our walk, we looked out at the horizon Watching the sun sink into the ocean The evening sky filled with the different colors. Taking my other hand into your own You turned me around Gently placing your forehead against mine And carefully wrapping me up in your arms As we gazed into each others' eyes Brown meeting brown You smiled, a secret smile reserved solely for me As you leaned down Our noses touched Once again, I closed my eyes Our breaths mingling together As our lips softly met The sound of the waves breaking, the seagulls squawking, and the wonderful colors of the evening sky All melted away at the feel of your lips on mine We were lost, lost in our own world Where there's only the two of us Breaking apart, I reopened my eyes We looked at each other, Both of our faces slightly colored And as I smiled, so did you. Wrapping an arm around me We began walking once more alongside the ocean Walking towards the evening sky And the future that lay in wait for us. http://www.powerpoetry.org/poems/evening-sky-0
