Stormy Beach

      I stared at the blue water in front of me.
The ocean's foam reached out its fingers to tickle my toes.
The strong salty wind blew my hair into my face.
My legs began moving,
taking me deeper and deeper into the sapphire abyss.
My sky colored bathing suit darkened from the splashing waves,
and the ocean's indigo fingers wrapped around my body,
like a coluber constrictor foxii snake.
My lips turned into the color of a pale glacier.
     The sky turned purple.
Cold rain poured out of the eggplant sky
and the moon, like a plum,
peeked out from behind the clouds.
The lightning looked like amethyst snakes
dashing across the sky.
My opal colored nails sparkled under the moon's lilac light.
The most amazing guy ran into the water too,
his dahlia print swim trunks getting wet in the grape jam water.
     I turned to look into the most beautiful brown eyes.
They were the color of an autumn forest,
with a rosewood ring
and golden specks in the center.
They were soft and kind,
like coffee beans.
I stared into his burnt umber eyes
and I could see into his soul.
They were deep,
like the earth's soil.
I looked into his eyes,
and I felt myself melt into them like chocolate.
I looked into his eyes,
and fell in love with the color of dark citrine.
     The bright yellow sun peeked out again.
The storm calmed down,
and the waves weren't as strong.
I snuggled under a banana colored blanket
on the golden sand.
with the love of my life.
His fingertips brushed against my sun kissed arms,
and I stared into his eyes once again.
I was happy like a small dandelion.

  1. I like how you worked your narrative into a poem here and your vivid imagery: lightning like "amethyst snakes," the "grape jam water," eyes like "coffee beans."
