Lovers on a Moonlit Beach
^{Copyright © Jennifer J. Radford}

Wrapped in a blanket, he holds her close,
waiting for her to stop shaking...
“I love you”s are exchanged,
a routine that always follows their love-making.

The moonlight shines down on them
and sparkles across the surface of the ocean...
A soft breeze carries their words,
words that are filled with emotion.

His finger tips dance over her ivory skin,
pale against his hand...
Roaring waves crash down hard,
trying to claim the sand.

He entwines his fingers through hers,
breathing in deep...
Inhaling the sea air, salt and wet sand,
he wishes this night was his to forever keep.

She curls up against him more,
tight by his side...
They lay in silence until he looks down, smiles,
and asks “Will you be my bride?”
