the Sea

sea salt on your lips
tastes so sweet to my tongue
sand from your feet
brings seaside to our house
when we lie in the night
it's too quiet to hear
the murmuring waves
so tenderly dear
I hear them singing
when wet waves of your hair
curl on my chest
like seaweed on the sand
I lean to your body
like the sea to the shore
and give it caresses
you so eagerly lure
I kiss then your fingertips -
they smell of sea wind,
of clouds in the sky,
distant seagull squeak

your body is amber
softly touched by the sun,
skin oozes with honey
of summer now gone

a whispering voice
floats in my ear
like souffle of shells -
soft but unclear
it tells me of waters
splashing around,
lulls me to sleep
with its sedative sound

now, although asleep,
I can feel your hands
light and tender like feathers
and, although asleep,
I feel breath on my neck
it gives my body sweet tremors
so I dream of the waves,
of sand on your skin,
of touches and kisses forever
so I dream of sinking
in my sea of sin -
in you, my beloved, forever
