Beside the rustic harbor stands a lighthouse on a hill
And it keeps a watchful vigil o’er the waters deep and still
At night the harbor waters shine almost as bright as day
And nothing is as beautiful as moonlight on the bay
The shores stretch out their golden arms along the rugged land
And the waters seem to sing and dance across the golden sand
The cool and salty ocean breeze blows softly through your hair
And tiny sparkling water droplets gently fill the air
I stand next to the water's edge and listen while it sings
The water seems to know the gentle comfort that it brings
I long to have you at my side beside the shining sea
And I listen as the water brings your image back to me
Though we are very far apart I still can see your smiles
And the water whispers soft and sweet across the many miles
I hear your sparkling laughter and it softly seems to say
“I love you”, and it fills my heart like moonlight on the bay

You sound like a real professional!- If there is such a thing in poetry. I love the well written blank verse (iambic hexameter?) which also rhymes. I could never do this; if I could, it would take me forever. Any pointers? I'll have to read more from you.
