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.
