Floating On Love

she split down her kaftan down the middle

spread hips imagination and playful foreshores 

lay down on the beach and listened to the waves


at first the sand ground at her passion but soon

the salt of the ocean moistened appetite for more

as she sailed on ebbs flows and pleasure let free


her lover joined at mid-riff played with her pearl

anchored on their pulsating coral reef of delight

the stroboscope of a lighthouse pointed the way


erect near a beach hut of drift wood and starfish

shadows applauded uncensored communal rapture

until drift spilled ripples and spray into the waft 


motionless they remained at the tide line of joy

imagined a wild fire roaring way into the night

retold their story and rejuvenated their dreams
