Ocean of Us
by Poetic Rizz
Original poem "Summer Love" by Tanja Cilia
Poetry Now Version
With my eyes closed,
I taste the salt of your kiss.
My hands outstretched,
I catch your voice in the breeze.
The waves sing our song,
While memories shine like dew,
On silken threads of time,
And in the sea-salt strands of your hair.
Our love is a ripple effect,
From pebbles tossed in play,
As our laughter dances,
Across this Mediterranean bay.
Each sunlit grain of sand,
Holds a moment we've shared—
In this timeless embrace,
My love for you knows no bounds.
Your essence fills my tomorrows—
As bright as the sun's embrace!
— Poetic Rizz
Original Poem
I close my eyes
And feel your salty lips
I reach out my hands
And hear your voice
Mingle with the waves
Lapping on the shore
Memories linger
Like tenuous beads of crystal dew
On silk-strand cobwebs
And beads of sea water
Caught in your hair
And glinting in the sun
Our love is the concentric ripples
Of pebbles lobbed
As we play ducks and drakes
And our laughter
Echoes across this corner
Of the Mediterranean
Each grain of sand
Shimmering in the sun
On a halcyon day
Is a precious moment
We have shared
Basking in forever
My love for you
Is infinite as the horizon
My wishes, hopes, and dreams
Are sunbeams swirling and darting
Amidst spun sugar clouds
In the aquamarine reflections on the sea
You are all my tomorrows
I love you
