Hypnotic are these gypsy waves tonight;
repetitive upon a full moon shore.
The surf sends shafts of water into flight
as roaring sound reflects a heart that soars.
A rising tide; emotion fills the heart.
Such waves become recurring pattern’s slave.
A longed-for promise: “We shall never part!”
as roiled, repeated waters will obey.
Enthralled, I see reflected in your eyes
that rapture; sure as moving water_ More
than beauty, grace and nature can devise!
A spellbound glance when opening your door.
So, now the waves pull both of us to shore;
as we shall be in love, forevermore.
