Devoted To the Sea

devoted to the sea of love or kisses harpooned upon the darkest lips
or just the sea, midnight blue that seaweed wraps, cocoons,
two lovers in lovers art.   the moon in cahoots with ebb and flow
and flowers tangled in her hair, but who cares about timeless fantasy,

fantastical that you are mine, in body gently heating or cooling,
lifting with the frangipani breeze and tender oceanic salt. our derrières
exposed and blossoms of foam frolic, rising, falling, frenetically sliding,
eyes closed in momentum’s meditation.     the sea...the sea...the sea,
explains the utterance of moaning lips, softly playing in lyrical colorwash.
