silken wind flows through curtains
wrapping the ocean's voice 'round your face
breathing kisses across your smile

I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me.

okay, i would change silken wind to freezing wind, because I have never felt a silken wind, so it seems obtuse to me. But the poem itself is great.

a silken wind is one that while you're lying in a field with your lover and the wind glides over you cool, fresh, and sensual, just enough to cool the sweat and let you know its there.

I liked the use of "silken wind."  Its good to look for adjectives outside the realm of what we would normally use for description--that creates strong imagery, which you have here! (Man, do I sound like an English teacher or what? Well, that is what I am!)
