We lay propped up
on the still warm sand
My look, my touch
asks the 'make love' question

We're watching the sun
submerge itself
on the horizon
hearing the ocean
moan at the touch
her waves crying on the sand

Over the salt and sand
your fragrance
pours over me
the sweetness of your breath
eyes sparkling
with remembered sun
mesmerizing

Wine dark kisses
Flow down tanned flesh
intoxicated
we drink
effervescent bubbles
tremble skin
encourage
we emulate
the sunset


Great souls have wills; feeble ones have only wishes.

"we emulate
the sunset"

That says it all. Such imagery... it hurts to even think now. Very descritive here, it really impacted the overal tone. Nice job.
