A Song of Sand and Water

No matter what I do
My mind keeps going back to you

Make me dance in the blaze of that bonfire
Make me twirl, whirl under the light of stars

***

In the moonshine we flirt
I see that twinkle in your eye

We dive in the sand drawn to each other
Magnetically bound in exertion

Effortlessly you roll on top of me
I can feel the weight of your bones buried

In the cold, gently pressing against mine
The warmth of your flesh, the brush of your skin

The sweet scent of your hair
And we get lost in the moment

***

Your lips land on mine

Two bonded souls merged as one
I curl up in your embrace

You hold me tight as we listen…
to the crystalline symphony

hummed by the sea embedded
in their tumultuous embrace

In the sand billions of drums rolling
grains floating in the strength of her waves

Droplets crash and dive back
in their immensity

***

Limbs covered in mineral dust,
our souls whisper through our bodies

gently pressed together, wrapped in peace,
lips smiling in the clearing of dawn

I sing and I sing and I sing
sing along to the tune

that your soft presence instilled in my head
– an ode –
a strong embrace impressed upon my heart.
