The Sunset's Where You'll Find Me

by Curing the Comon Cliche   Jun 7, 2008


Built a castle on a beach
A kingdom made of sand
Kingdom of ocean's and sunsets
Watch the water hit the land

Built a castle with a view
Sunset I'll forever see
In a moment, My Dear Friend
The sunset's where I'll be

Castle built from sand
Sparkles in this sunset
Dear Friend, embrace the ocean
Can you swim but not get wet?

The clouds ignite in red
Ocean, sunset, land
Violent waves are crashing
Goodbye, castle made of sand

Crashing waves and bloodshot sky
Swallowed by the sea
Taken with my sand kingdom
It's just the sun and me

Built a castle on the beach
We were swallowed by the sea
I guess I'm peaceful where I am
The sunset's where I'll be

I shall go the way of the open sea,
To the lands I knew before you came,
And the cool ocean breezes shall blow from me
The memory of your name.
~Laurence Hope

    Definitely not the poem i expected from you today, jesse.

    but dangit. now i'm just glad i can stop reading pretty poems about the ocean..get to go to mexico...hoorah.

    anyway:

    Can you swim but not get wet?

    ^ you can drown but not get wet. So i don't know if that's quite the same thing, but that's my answer.

    Beautiful poem, jesse. painted a lovely image.
