August Rush

We were sitting by the seaside,

After dinner in the moonlight;

Sipping beer under tall pines,

As in your hand you took mine.

The waves rushing to meet us –

Like my heart, stopped on track;

The breeze was cool on my spine,

But your hand felt warm in mine.

We were meeting the first time,

At a party on this August night;

Far from your friends and mine,

As only in our hearts lyrics thrive.

The moon and the tide astride,

You stroked my hair very light;

Talking trivially of our past lives,

What counted is this flash in time.

As you turned to look into my eyes,

In them surf rushed to meet the side;

I saw in your eyes the rush of the tide,

Yearning of our souls I couldn’t hide.

Kissing your lips, as the sea moonlight,

Instant connection we made that night;

Music we’re gifted with, that us did unite,

We’re nature’s scions, our souls surmise.

Silently we kissed on the face of the tide,

A connection firmed, we’re August born;

With time we’ve learnt we’re much alike,

We savoured a first kiss with salt of the tide.
