Golden shades of twilight
bejeweled the pale and feeble
sandy beach into its color of
fortune, dreamily dancing
ocean weaves into liquid gold.

Me a loner so they say;
sat to watch the weary birds
fly pass to their nests
far away beyond
the ocean blue, where my
sweet love blossomed, I kept
in the closet of my heart,
for the world to know.

Me a loner so they say,
perhaps too bashful
of me to say,
“I ‘m in love;”
beyond the far mighty
blue ocean – yonder
my ladybird nest,
very reflection of
reaching her put my
cozy dreams to test.

Me a loner so they say,
relished in trivial joy,
thanking the waves
that touched her feet
at the shore afar for
- stroking mine; cool
breezy for kissing
her tender cheek
and embracing my
wet yearning lips.

The Sun rose and
dipped a countless time,
painting the pale beach
a thousand times,
me now a weary ol’ man,
sat with stretched out hands
to reach out to my ladybird,
who rested at the west coast,
waited longingly in sprite -
to be grasped.

Me, laid to rest, with an
epitome on my tombstone;
“here lay this man loner,
as we hardly know; buried
no more as a loner - but
with his love called “ladybird.”

None is a loner, for they dwell with
their aspirations, veiled deep within.

The Ladybird.
Golden shades of twilight
bejeweled the pale and feeble
sandy beach into its color of

ocean weaves into liquid gold.

Me a loner so they say;

fly pass to their nests
far away beyond
the ocean blue, where my
sweet love blossomed, I kept
in the closet of my heart,
for the world to know.

Me a loner so they say,
perhaps too bashful
of me to say,
“I ‘m in love;”
beyond the far mighty
blue ocean – yonder
my ladybird nest,
very reflection of
reaching her put my
cozy dreams to test.

Me a loner so they say,
relished in trivial joy,
thanking the waves
that touched her feet

Franco the imagery and the sentiment you convey in this write are the most potent, beautiful and uplifting I have read in a while.

Those last lines really touched me.

Take care,
Dom

Franco, such a delicate and soft beauty woven with your pen. There is
much to enjoy and relish inside this. I sense a longing and an ache that
grows with every sunrise. But I don't feel it is a burden, but more of
a familiarity that washes over with a comfort like none other.

Captivating and completely engaging, my old friend.
Glad to "see" you again. =)

wishes,

~ Breezy
