We bedded with moss and leaf and sand
drenched in that evening’s rain;
a shimmering surf at our feet
where diamonds and poetry wept on ocean waves.
We stirred to passions rising in us,
caressing below an unwatched moon.
- our
- love
- open
- no
- love
- closed
- we
- found
- heaven
- in
- all
- disclosed
Your breath and sweat filled my senses
blossoming and mating with the heat;
like joyous roses in morning light,
they grew to swim in our ocean waves.
I consumed your fire and fed you mine—
even the trees shut their eyes.
