Rule My Thoughts Tonight


As I walk down the golden sands, biding time without a care
That endless train of thoughts I have, seem more entangled than my hair.
The waves rush to my sandy feet and kiss my toes with a ticklish chill
That pile of worries I’d built somewhere just crumbles down and time stands still.
The soothing weather, the whipping breeze, the air that night gives me the clout
I have the license just tonight, to choose what I want to think about.
In this moment of peaceful bliss, when I’m the ruler of my insight
You choose to play just so unfair and rule my thoughts again tonight.

Countless thoughts that feature you, just wake up from a gentle slumber
The shells that lie strewn on that shore, in comparison, seem less in number.
The rhythmic waves that rush to me seem to hum that cherished tune
To which we’d danced all night one time, that night had ended far too soon.
The beach lamps flood the sea with golden lights as far as my eyes scan
Just the way one smile from you lights up my eyes like nothing can.
The pending bills, the laundry wash, that two page letter I’ve still to write
You sleekly brush that list aside and rule my thoughts again tonight.


I see the trail of footsteps made as I walk down that moonlit beach
My eyes gaze at those specks of ships, far away and out of reach.
Thinking of the irony, I smile in rue and think of thee
You and I are on the same old beach, I’m at the shore, you’re at the sea.
The skyline has a myriad hues, like paint splashed on a canvas sheet
The frothy waves sound loud and clear, but not quite loud as my heartbeat.
Tonight the evening asks of me a wish I wish with all my might
Without a doubt my heart just dreams that I too rule your thoughts tonight.
