Rapture

We watch Apollo paint the horizon and disappear into the water while walking 
hand in hand on a remote, pristine beach. Civilization is a faint light in the 
distance-just out of reach.

Strolling sky clad-our bodies are being caressed and invigorated by Neptune’s 
cool sea breeze. 
As the moon goddess illuminates the dusk and ascends to her throne in the 
heavens-we are captivated by the moonlight in each other’s eyes and are 
instantly drawn together like magnets.
 Lost in a gaze, we become intertwined like beach wood and drop to our knees. 

Time is of no concern-for we are in a realm of the gods- where years are like 
days. Being fueled by the spirits of fire our yearning ignites into a blaze.

Overcome with passion-like ocean to beach-we experience wave after wave of 
pleasure. Embraced by each other-we lie on the warm white silky sand-enjoying 
the cosmos and thinking this is a gift from the gods that we will always treasure.

I would hear no end of sea and sand or of passion beneath the moon. The treasure is the moment and no more, until the next. Beautifully written!
