Chillin'

C	ontentment on hot summer days is to lay me down gently
                upon the glossy, cool, red ceramics tiles, that refresh and tantalize bare skin

H	alf naked, brown and melting, like chocolate on your tongue

I	ndifferent to peering eyes of strangers wandering about

L	eaving inquisitives to brainstorm about “Are they, or not”; secret laughs shared
                we live only in our daydreams of love’s passionate connection 

L	oving summer nights rendezvous beneath sister moon and her entourage of   
                millions of twinklin stars


I	gniting latent fires that still smolder amidst the ash, barely breathing 
                anticipating

N	ights of in ocean side palaces of sky and sand; enjoying soft warm breezes that  
                cool passion's thirst, as the sound of a lonely sax wafts through the palms,
                has us drifting off to the soothing lullaby of rolling, crashing waves.

I concur with Allysa, Dimples, this is a superior acrostic. It creates such a wonderfully loving and sensual mood. Great work, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
