**The Shores**

Innumerable shores meet

At a cape where all the oceans rest 

Where all the conchs
Exchange their honks 

Where all the sea shells 

Share their sheen

And the sands

Whisper off their romance 

And let the sun shine 

To lit up the evenings 

And the moon seeps in to the water

To burn it quiet and cool

At last the shores depart 

Leaving behind the trails of scorching love 

Filled in the scratches of nails
