The sea-waves touch
The sea-waves touch your open palms,
along the shore, the waters lead
when stormy sea, henceforth, becalms
and tide engulfs what skies forbid.
When solemn eyes their oaths avow
and roses beckon on your dream,
reach out and find his drifting prow
aboard the trip's perpetual stream.
Cause thoughts, like boats, contrive amiss;
for those who lived in old realms,
eternal love's confession is,
the touch of sea, upon the palms.
Perchance the mistral glances pledge
as drifting made the skylines' edge.
