California Dream

Whimsical fairytale

Sounds of the surf

Never once wondering

What is beneath the turf

Playing on surfboards

Laying in the sand

Beautiful wonderland

 

Lying in bed

Crying tears in my sleep

Wanting one last chance

For the tide to wash me clean

Longing for loved ones

Fries at the pier

One last boat ride

Memories fail

To take me there.

 

Him and is long board

Sun bleached hair

Nobody could compare

Beauty magnified

Teaching to love

Save me from myself

With one velvety touch

 

Discovering who I was

But not who I now am

Longing for that wonderland

Firework display

Tide threatened night

Beautiful display

Teaming with life

 

Memories decay

Everything fades

Nothing stays the same

But my dreams take me there

 

California waiting

But nothing is changing

Just dreams

That god has put me there.

Author's Note

Some places speak distinctly. Certain dank gardens cry aloud for a murder; certain old houses demand to be haunted; certain coasts are set apart for shipwrecks. ~Robert Louis Stevenson

Beautiful. I've never gone to California, but I've visited the Carolinas and Maine, and the beaches there are purely divine. Beaches are the most peaceful place I've ever been. Too bad they're all so far away from me :(

I love the poem. Perfect flow and rhymes.

This is wonderful, enjoyable read
