Through Harold’s Lens:
Please start the sounds first, as you are enjoying the images and words.
You will receive the full sensual experience of this story.
Cozy & bundled
Nestled in arms
In loved-worn sweaters
Over tattered college sweats.
She with Chardonnay
Me with Merlot.
Rhythm of the sea
Buns nestled
In warm mounds of sand.
Heads nestled
In suntanned shoulders.
Toes nestled
In loose grains of gold.
Rhythm of the sea
We had danced
To pounding surf.
We had kissed
To splashing waves.
We had loved
To glows of orange and red.
Rhythm of the sea
Warm love between us
Deep love growing
Memories of a tender island summer
Moments of a chilly early fall.
Rhythm of the sea
All is quiet now
Only sounds of surf
Only stars in skies
Only moon beams crossing waves.
Rhythm of the sea
She off to Wellesley
Me off to Stanford
2500 miles of dirt
Hearts sagging
Tears rolling.
Rhythm of the sea
Grapes gone
Sunset black
Sleep.
Rhythm of the sea
