Our Island - Our Beach - Our Love

Our island ~ our beach ~ our love 

As moments lazily pass, sighing breezes
we sit silent ~ adrift as a single composed symphony
tempo’d by the rhythmic surf ~ its constant sensuous flow
lulling our hearts, aching to collide 
in one melodic breath

Horizons blush, love’s mist lingers
arms of cradling desire caress beauty ~ lone of seashell mosaics,
palm leaf shade,  cool murmurs on warm sand
Your swollen lips offer a glistening enchantment~
their taste, salty pleasures of virginal mornings

Velvet waves entice ~ white foam illusions
drift quietly ~ carelessly ~ soothing
We too build and recede, feeding our amorous needs
As a slowly setting sun embraces an aquamarine sky,
you glow in effervescent shimmers at my touch

Our bond remains unbroken ~ 
tethered to an ocean’s hypnotic trance
your body against mine, skin upon glistening skin
merely to hold you ~ feel you~ kiss you, 
is my coastal haven

Now as the fading light relinquishes its hold 
and dusk splashes violet secrets on a weary sky ~
the tide becomes a single motion within us   
for this is our island ~ our beach ~ our love
and it shall forever be
