Wet and Wild

WET AND WILD

He almost traversed the globe with buds.
She’d whispered a dream in his heart.
Now cleansed with torrent sea and suds,
this newfound togetherness a start.

In this moment wet and wild,
hearts pounding like thunder —
one a mother wishes for her child,
a serendipitous waterfall of wonder.

Their love exposed to one another
in rushing sheets of cascading splendor.
Sliding lips buttery baste each other.
Rip roaring rain so close and tender.

Marriage serves up cats and dogs —
a sensuous flood of bedtime dialogues.

Such a creative write, Kim! I just loved the phrases --- serendipitous waterfall of wonder … sliding lips buttery baste each other --- they glide so effortlessly over the screen's page. Delightful! ~ gw
