on the sea beach,
on the wet sand,
i wrote your name
and
prayed
the waves
would let it stay.
the waves came
and
washed your name away.
undeterred
i summoned all
the skill to the fingers
and
wrote once again
your lovely
six-letter name,
and
prayed
ever more sincerely,
let the sea go
where ever it wants
but
let it not pour
over you.
but heartless sea,
it did come
with all the roar,
and washed you away,
but
this time
not before whispering
into my doting ear: -
'let me wash her away,
dear,
it should matter little
to you,
your beloved
lies
secure,
emblazoned
in yout heart,
from
where,
all the waters
of the seven seas
cannot wash her
away.'
