Old
Walking hand in hand in the moonlight
Along a beach of warm sifting sand
Waves rolling softly through our footsteps
A night for lovers to make their plans
The soft glow of the shimmering moonlight
Rippling on the water as the waves roll by
Brings an atmosphere of pure enchantment
A night meant for just you and I
Lost in our thoughts we’re together
Strolling slowly as time drifts on by
Savoring the spell of the evening
With the hope that love inspires
Rapture, enchantment, the wonder of you
Makes a night I’ll always remember
From the weekend I spent here with you
In the bay of Old

About the Book
This book covers over 30 years of work starting in 1975. About 30 poems were written between 1975 thru 1978. No writing again until 2004 when I joined the poets’ workshop online poetry site. Since then I have written around 80 poems in the last 6 months. There are many different styles of poetry ranging from free verse, complete rhyme, haiku’s, senryu’s, lyrics for songs, and a few unconventional styles with my own modified style of rhyme, meter, pentameter. The poems range from ones about my two marriages, divorce, my kids, losing everything, starting over, etc. etc. being a weekend father and all the loneliness and pain one has to deal with in a divorce. My views of life and lessons I have learned. Many different subjects I have written about. Main theme of new work is from my ‘hopeless romantic’ side. Basically the story of my life in poetry.
