Waves (from 2/99 - a reminder of warm beach days) Sunny day - some clouds Drifting overhead Intermittent shade Gentle breeze Warm sand Digging toes into Cooler subsurface sand Watching the waves Roll and break And the foam bubble away The only sound Propped in beach chairs Cooler, blanket Sunglasses You're reading I say, "Beautiful swells" You reply, "Is sex all you think of?" Hurt, I say, "I was talking about the waves" Book down, you look up We watch together As the larger ones curl Fall of their weight Crash on the sand Spreading white foam On the dark green Receding water The swells further out With unstoppable energy Roll and grow As terns ride them freely "That inevitability, That power" That beauty Fascinate me" I say "I like the color The shapes The strength" You say We watch a surfer Far down the beach When he tumbles We watch the gulls And then I'm watching you As you look up I take your hand Kiss it You pull our clasped hands Kiss mine I lean over Too far Damn! Your laughter Tinkles in the breeze On my knees Laughing too Kiss your lips On the blanket Kisses, more kisses Stroking Clouds thicken Winds increasing Sudden chill Lips blue Goose bumps Too much Roll in blanket Sharing body heat Warmth of synergy Generating energy Fires lit Hands exploring Later As breathing Returns to normal You look at me With sly smile say, "I didn't think You could do that With just your fingers" I replied, "I knew You could" As we cuddled, giggled And watched the waves Their strength, Their beauty Their inevitability. ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Well put together. Brings back many memories. Remarkable skills. "Gentle breeze Warm sand Digging toes into Cooler subsurface sand Watching the waves Roll and break And the foam bubble away The only sound" Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
