chivalry is a lost art

fog in the morning, so
the logs with a crimson glow
light the waves with their undertow.
away these sandy beaches.

your amber eyes aglow,
your breath, like the undertow
pulls me down, so far down below.
away these sandy beaches.


your heart is beating -
i feel it.
my mind is reeling -
please heal it.
night time will come.
this long day will be done.
even you cannot repeal it.

stars in the velvet glow.
high tide hides the undertow.
your laugh arrows to my soul.
away these sandy beaches.

time is the undertow.
time strikes you quick & low.
time will not let you go.
away these sandy beaches.
