This was back in the seventies when surf news filtered through to the north Devon community […]
Be my valentine
February 9, 2011
Stuck in a deep hole I can’t carve your name In sand as dry as a desert. The hole has swallowed my sadness, And now I’m stuck. Half way up the beach, Waiting for the tide to return. And wash me out Of this dark and Overwhelmingly bleak place. Taking tiny pleasures From the stillness […]
