Beneath a sky of sorrow, where storm clouds veil the moon,
A tragic love unfolded, ending far too soon.
Waves crashed with fury, winds howled in despair,
A night of fateful parting, two souls laid bare.

In his arms, she trembled, a fragile, fading light,
Her breaths a fleeting whisper, slipping into night.
Her eyes, the color of oceans, now dim with pain,
Yet love burned bright within them, a pure, unending flame.

“Hold me close,” she pleaded, “as the world fades away,
Promise me you’ll find me where the land meets the bay.”
His heart shattered in silence, as tears mingled with the sea,
A helpless witness to fate’s cruel decree.

The heavens wept in mourning, as stars dimmed their glow,
A universe in sorrow, for a love lost below.
She clung to life’s last tendril, her voice a fragile thread,
“I’ll wait for you, my dearest, where ocean meets the land,” she said.

With her final breath, a sigh of bittersweet,
She slipped into the darkness, her soul’s journey complete.
His cry echoed through the night, a lament for the lost,
A love so deeply rooted, now paying the ultimate cost.

By the shore he lingered, where their memories dwelled,
His heart a storm-tossed vessel, in grief’s tempest felled.
Each dawn he stood in silence, where the sea and sand entwine,
Searching for a sign of her, a glimpse of the divine.

The sea’s eternal whisper, the wind’s mournful song,
Bore her promise to his ears, a love enduring, strong.
In every crashing wave, in every salt-laced breeze,
Her presence lingered softly, a ghost among the trees.

Through years of endless longing, his heart remained steadfast,
For love’s eternal promise, a reunion at last.
And as the night would deepen, beneath the starlit dome,
She came to him in wave and light, a spirit from the foam.

The bioluminescent glow, a kiss from ocean’s heart,
Brought visions of her face, as night and sea impart.
In shimmering blue splendor, she danced upon the tide,
A spectral, loving presence, forever by his side.

Where land meets ocean’s embrace, in twilight’s tender hue,
He felt her spirit waiting, their love forever true.
And so in life’s great tapestry, where sorrow meets delight,
Their love, a tragic ballad, sang softly through the night.

For where the land meets ocean, in whispers of the sea,
Their souls will find each other, in love’s eternity.
