SHE SAYS YES


I eavesdrop on the sigh of the sea,
spilling incessant salt-slap of his sweat
to glisten in beads on the brow of the beach.

Heavy his murmurs and breathless his love
for shy, demure sands and her soft-yielded peaks;
for her wind-sculpted hollows and grass-trembling dunes.

Yes, she says, yes to his ebb-flow advances
as I intrude on their kiss, passing lightly between.

Undulating folds of cliff’s wave-layered strata
evidence the faithfulness of their perpetual embrace:

Sand has always said yes to the sea
and his soul firm imprints molten walls of shore’s heart.

He is her wetness and she his parched drought
and they do not know they’re not one
and the same.

"He is her wetness and she his parched drought
and they do not know they’re not one
and the same." now this is poetry! I liked the ending part, and all the evocative images.

Ahhhh...Ohhhh...marvelous! All of it. Yet I was most impressed

humans. Lady...these images are fabulous...absolutley top drawer!!!

Dear Kate,

I've always adored the duet performed by sand and sea. It's really a constant give and take, isn't it? For me, that's what unconditional love is all about.

Love & Light always and in all ways,

A fog must be coming in - my glasses just steamed over. Do you eavesdrop from the window or the porch KB? Perhaps as you squish your toes into the line that seperates the two elements?

If we looked closely at what is around us we would find some kind of natural symbiosis in everything. It seems that your new digs have taken you to new heights of insight as a writer.

"Sand has always said yes to the sea" and I say yes to this stunning write. Seems you have also melted our dear Alexandra.

Light and Wisdom ...

Poet of Dorset... I felt strange reading this, for I once stood on the sand and wondered how it tolerated the sea. You've answered all my questions for all time.

I admit it when I run out of words to review a great poem. When this happns, I say, simply, DELICIOUS !

This is... perfection. In my awe, I can't find any other word that sums up the brilliance, depth, and absolute beauty that all my senses (and my sense) absorb from this masterful poem, dear Kate.
In profound reverence,

Ahhh sweet Kate, you know this old salt is always a sucker for romantic writes that take place on the shores of Neptunes playground and this is certainly no exception. There is somthing romantically magic about certain places like...before a fire in a log cabin, aboard a boat gently swaying neath a starry sky, on a roof top of a building looking down on the city lights and yes on the sands of a lovely beach. Great write Kaete.

I felt a voyeuer in this glorious personification of the sand and the sea. Your sea such a masculine creature and the sand so delicate, innocent and willing to the meld. How stunningly powerful and utterly sexy the romance of nature. You, Kate, were meant to eavesdrop and capture this love affair in words.

How romantic this poem is in its metaphor, Kate. The sea belongs to the shore as the shore belongs to the sea. Without one, the other would not exist. So it is with the one who is the keeper of our heart; we are seamless in our unity. Such a beautiful poem, Kate!
Take care,
