'The Silent Kiss' Poetry Contest

Moonlight on a still pool of darkness,
deep with my joy.
I offer you the silent kiss
           emerging from my chlorine, longing dreams
Nights of solemn swims steeped in 
Gratefulness .
You rippled in waves like the Pool of Bethesda, 
               obeying the breath of the Holy Spirit 
You were clueless to your beauty then. 

Tonight, dank, covered., unused, murky pond.
I sleep this time within a mile of your being.
Oh, to rush down the street and save you, 
           my pool, my one time love,   private delight
Dreaming, remembering.
Do you swoon for the body of your old owner
                 our smoldering summer nights of splendor?
Receive my silent kiss   coming through the cosmos
on a moonlit carpet                to you
                          a still pool of algae and darkness.
