Poem
A lovely breeze blew from the sea That autumn day was almost done; Her thick and wavy raven hair Was boldly gleaming in the sun. She rode her mare with idle reins Along the vast and sprawling sand, Deserted beach that gleamed of gold. The seagulls flew from sea to land. I had no doubt that she could sense My silent gaze. Her head held high She made no move to pull the dress That showed her leg right to the thigh. She turned and gave a fleeting smile Knowing full well what cards to deal And next on impulse flicked the reins To urge her mare and dug each heel. She was away; I followed suit As hooves threw sand into the air. The race was on, yet I held back And watched the sight of flowing hair. We neared the cove where water played I licked my lips and tasted salt. She pulled the reins, her mare obeyed; I did the same, came to a halt. Her face was radiant, breast that heaved; I was a failure at disguise. Appraising look gave me away; I saw the glimmer in her eyes. Our eyes communed, there by the sea Before our lips dared utter speech I bade my time, while my heart beat And hoped the silence he would breach. The sunbeams softly kissed my skin My dress, it danced within the breeze My eyes invited him to me My lips curled up in playful tease. Dismounting from his feisty horse He slowly made his way to me I saw in stride and bearing he Was all a dream was meant to be. His fingers slid in silky mane Caressing it with tender touch Yet in my mind, all I could see Was my long hair in ardent clutch. I dared not breathe, for he was close He might discern my wild desire And so demurely I did stroke My lovely mare to quell the fire. He spoke to me, in mellow tones And asked of me, to take a walk Up to the cove where water splayed It offered us a place to talk. I acquiesced with faintest smile His brawny hands reached round my waist No sooner had I touched the ground Than to his body, mine he braced. Down in the cove, he touched my heart He lay me bare, my flesh and soul And love I felt, in every part For on the day, he made me whole. Down in the cove we two made love She gave her all, her flesh and soul There on that day in twilight zone She touched me so; my heart she stole. ---------------------------------------------------- A Collab with Paul Callus
