I recently went to the beach with my roommates and whenever I get into nature I find myself being overly sentimental, especially at the beach. While I was there I thought up a few poems and even now I'm thinking back on how I felt while I was in those moments. I'd like to share a few of them with whoever's reading. Please enjoy them!

Rays of sun hit your skin in a million sparkling beams
Smiles so bright your eyes hurt
Waves travel at the speed of sound
I think of you in my loneliest times

Introspection is my worst enemy
as I stare into the cloudless sky
a melody only for you
makes the world go swinging

Laughter is contagious
yet I'm immune to the disease
Lemonade splashing the blue horizon
and toes curling in the sand

I think of you on a lonely towel
Surrounded by many
yet always alone

Sharks are people too
I think to myself as teeth pierce skin
Blood is the wine of gods
I wonder if it's a sin

Calling my name as if it's taboo
ignoring soft pleas and tender smiles
I won't go

My sunglasses block out my cares
You shield your eyes with your hand
Do you feel vulnerable now?

When I take you there I wonder if you feel like me
Do you feel like me?
Do you see what I see?
I ask myself as I watch your back fade into the distance

It's too deep,
too blue,
sometimes it's too cold,
I promise I won't be going there soon

I think too much when I'm alone
when the waves are too loud
when I can't even hear myself think
I always know you're there

Sweat is dripping down my spine
like a cool drink on a hot day
Fanning myself does me no good
if I'm burning from the inside out

Running even when my legs are too tired Sand is an obstacle yet it dips away as my feet sink in How curious life is
