Distance seems relative as it speaks
In redundant chant to the perfection of night
Harboring mystery as if mastery
Salutations scented rain to implore
A rowboat set adrift to explore
How courageous is the moon

Moving tectonic plates
That might and muscle exceed
The way of flesh beneath my hands
So as not be missed by tenderness

Spreading me thin across the water
That I might float or drown
But never to be cold or lifeless
For apart becomes together in its silence
Brooding minnows quick silver skirt
Where closeness is brevity superb

For then you are simply breathing
The think of a thousand brushes
Until depth arises to touch the dawn
Turning pink the outline of a linen sheath
As my lips draw the taste of pleasure
From the wet of lasting, you blend on my cheek

There is something about boats that is
so captivating and romantic....HUH?  
Now, if I could just find the boat...and
a gal to leisurely twirl her fingers in
the waters...  Where is my dog?  Pets always
attract women.

Wonderful weave of words TD.
hugs, Chris
