On a Deserted Beach

Here, on this deserted beach,
is our refuge from the intrusive world,
here, you give yourself to me tonight,
while the stars smile at us
and the sea waves are already well into performing
their overture at the concert
staged just for us.

With the sound of the sea waves,
our lips come together
and we become one.
We try to reach for the unreachable,
for a moment feel magic
and lose ourselves in space and time,
forgetting the world full of suffering
which we are eternally surrounded by.
