Spindrift

Soaked by a spectacular spindrift,
liminal lingering leaves me locked up;
My eyes, a glass covered in sea salt;
Warm spray masquerades the rim.

Liminal lingering leaves me locked up,
waiting on tempestuous mavericks;
Warm spray masquerades the rim,
sprinkles intrude and steal the sip.

Waiting on tempestuous mavericks
to deepen this dance of distraction;
Sprinkles intrude and steal the sip 
stifling the potency of chosen poison.

To deepen this dance of distraction
every wave is a wondrous swoosh; 
Stifling the potency of chosen poison,
disguised as such intricate beauty.

Every wave is a wondrous swoosh;
My eyes, a glass covered in sea salt.
Disguised as such intricate beauty,  
soaked by a spectacular spindrift.
