SEASONED

SEASONED (can be pronounced SEA SAND)


I carved your name:

Charming yet mysterious, 

And I added mine to it:

Bold and elegant.

 

There it was.  Next to each other.

Our names on sand.


The sand gleamed but impatient,

Until her lover came and ravished her away.


In that moment that they met there was hope.

Now every time they are together, 

We will be too.
