little did I know
as I looked quickly
at those colorful houses
along the coastline
of course in a hurry
to get where I was going
(visit someone you and I
love very much)
that someday… I would
have this yearning
to return and explore
with you my muse ~
what was there to be seen
and learn about
its majestic history
as we eagerly
travel down
Ocean View Ave
towards a beach
called Chick’s
where the locals
lay on the sand
get some sun
and cool off
while wading in
clear
shallow
waters
with breathtaking views
of the bridge
that leads to the tunnel
which it has been said
such fun
will work up
a hunger
only finding
satisfaction
at this restaurant
known for
a quarter century as ~
Alexander’s On the Bay
you’ll get choices
on the menu galore
seafood…
steak
and more
a table lit by candle
next to the glow
of a fireplace
sound great ~
ok then
some day
my dear sweet muse
I hope to spend
the day
here
with you ….
