A beachy love spell woven from the sun-warmed white beach sand, star jasmine, plumeria, suntan lotion, sea spray, coconut cream, vanilla orchid, and tonka.
In the summer
I stretch out on the shore
And think of you
Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me.
