A Weekend Poem
A WEEKEND POEM
(You were there)
“making love with you”
Sitting cradled
Snug against a suburban shoreline.
Broad warmth of chest –
Heart throb against my back.
We watch, that place,
A space where river and ocean meet.
Never-ending, swaying swirl
Of opposing tides,
Mingled together,
Mouths open wide.
A teasing gull,
Youthful and merciless in her hovering intent,
Pulls onward and inward
The unbridled desire of a three-legged dog.
Tantalizing, just out of reach
Seagull and dog
Play on the beach.
Yesterday’s debris afloat and far from alone,
A plastic bottle in turbulent foam.
Shallow shadows of careless intent
Drift – dancing amidst divine lament.
Squeals of delight as oceanriver reaches high,
Claiming dry clothes,
And receding with a deep, long sigh.
Forcing retreat,
The cradle undone.
Back in motion,
World and ocean
Explode in orgasmic delight….
Walking and talking
Hands all aglow
With caresses and memories
Still holding last night’s flow.
Beautiful feet
Private prints in the sand.
Surrender myself
To this lover’s hand!
