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. ~ Chinese Proverb ~ |

"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. -Jeremy Raulinaitis "I believe that man will not merely endure: he will prevail. -William Faulkner (Noble Prize Speech.) |
