Bound By the Melody of the Sea

Melodious tides serenade along a foam dipped coast line,
we drift as a single composed symphony,
seduced by a pounding surf, its sensuous rhythm pulsates
flooding our hearts, aching to collide 
in the tempo of a lone torrent’s embrace
 
Scorching tropical passions seize the moonlit sand,
palm tree shadows sway atop sultry weathered dunes
of lemongrass and saw palmetto,
on saltwater breezes moaning our names, mellifluously
from a quivering horizon

Warm dark rum skin intoxicates, I stagger, 
lost in hypnotic topaz eyes, reflective pleadings 
of deeper desires sought, fingertips probe sun softened locks,
nightshade tresses, mingling with a rippled surf
as stardust illumines moist swollen lips, parted  

Harmonic waves wash atop entwined silhouettes
nearing a crescendo, a pinnacle of pleasure,
where secrets are revealed in half swallowed sighs  
on this coastal haven when voices sing in
throaty whispers of impassioned ecstasy
 
Now as heated breaths hover beneath the moon’s glowing stare
we too build and recede, feeding our amorous desires
as the fading night relinquishes its hold and dawn cracks the sky 
Our tide becomes one, our union remains unbroken, 
our love, eternally bound by the melody of the sea

This is stunningly sensuous and the imagery and sentiments are off the charts provocative Chris, too many exceptional lines to choose from. I can't even pick a verse that stands out, they're all stellar! 7+ fave.
