Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Wonderfully Wet

Lost, deep, among the grasses of the dunes

                    A summer shower rinsed us, sweet and warm

          As, breathing in my ear, your steamy runes

                              I tasted drops of sea mist from your form

                    Our late-day passions ended as the storm

                              Was blushed to silence by the melting sun

          The swirling stars, like fireflies in a swarm

                    Told painted clouds the evening had begun

And by a waking moon ... our lover's dreams were spun.
