Analysis of Brandy Cove



Brandy cove:
Sun setting in your eyes,
Warm rays, warm sighs.
Feelings in deep, rich hue
Painted inside us.

West wind:
Senses sprung with tales
Of swollen seas.
Smiles with gull cries-
All is love.

Pebbles rustle,
Love shared by sea’s rhythm.
Whole world, our world.
Life sings, we dance again.
We laugh and fly.

Twilight’s curtain;
A shawl to warm our dream.
Sea sounds die,
Talking  in distant whispers.
In love we lie.
