I rose to crest of lofted wave
the master bearing on his slave.
As foam did touch my fingertips
and the thought of you...
Left there, that one kiss.

Lingering so, each breath then shared
as passion flowed and touches dared.
Feeling each curve, a lofted peak...
A journey entwined, of lover’s sleek.

Left to dry upon sandy shores
as minds dreamt of sultry explores.
Seeing each step that ventured away,
to come soon again....another day.

Rhythmic the rise and fall of each
as travels sought the watery breech...
Filling each hand with shells a few.
As fires rekindled burned anew.

And as the set of stars then hailed
the rapture of two breaths exhaled,
a sigh brought out the wandering moon
before the fiddle, the cow or spoon.

This is still very understated

But it is all in the mind

Or maybe

The mind is all in it

You weave the best moments of life with fantasy and fairy tales... and do so in such a way I'm smiling before the little dog laughs. *S*
