Glad Tidings---.

Recline my love within the foam upon the ocean’s skirt. And, make a bridal bed for me as days end we do court. Adonis, he has blessed your form Poseidon bless’d your lance And thee has captured me my love With nothing but a glance. The pounding of the summer shore the steamy mist of the sea, the brush of gentle fingertips from hip to out turned knee. The penetrating part my love has breeched but heart and mine…. We’ve formed a kernel, just a start a child for other times. So, let us rise within the sea and pledge eternity Of the green eyed maidens love on thy bended knee.

I give you the top mark because I want you to script this for the 2;45 AM showing of " Lust And The Lance." starring... on HBO2 or Cinemax. on a rainy Saturday morning. I can hear the alto sax wailing on the soundtrack. Love, Gerard.
