moments spent by the sea

we sat down, by the sea 
moments of ecstasy, 
filled with glee 
fingers intertwined, 
your breaths still.
your quietness liminal,
like the sand so similar.

waves crashing, 
so full of anger, 
the rocks tranquil 
whispering love
in the midst of violence.

we got up, 
and went back home 
we sat to eat;
a screech, a plate smashed. 
then two.

god, I’ll miss 
the quiet beauty of the sea.
