sunset surfers

reminiscing on old memories, digging up the forgotten ones, hidden between rows of photographs, a peek into my former home

trips down to perenan beach, the silhouettes below us dancing on the waves, defying the glittering whitewash

will they still be there when i return?


collision looks undeniable, a rapid swerve and the story changes


a lone rider, ready to capture the sun's disappearing light


a positive version of "not waving, but drowning"

a salute into the golden sky


the waves keep building, piling on top of each other, rolling into the next, when will it break?


he glides over liquid gold


and finally, the calm after the storm of board fins that slashed at the water, a sea empty of riders.

fall lovers

i held your hand for the first time, afraid you would hate the fuzz growing just above my knuckles.

You've transmitted me the feeling of summer in such cold days, thank you for reminding me of it. Once again, beautiful poem Pepa!
