Meet me at sunset

on the Bahamian village shore

when all the tourists and vendors

have packed up their belongings

and faded into evening
 

Hold me there

at the water's edge

your strong arms caressing

the small of my back

and mine

wrapped around your neck
 

Where the sands soak us in

and the foamy water

washes over our ankles
 

We ride the moving ground

together

we giggle and smile

trying not to fall into the crystal blue
 

Kiss me

with your lips of chocolate

and mine so

strawberry sweet
 

While the summer sun sets

on the island's shore
 

Oh, say you love only me

as we take in the warmth

of the days fading heat
 

Make passionate love

to me

here on the edge

of the sea
 

And feel the glow of our love

blaze like fire

on the canvas of the sky

while our bodies become one

with the wet earth

and our longing for one another

is finally satisfied


and as the sun dies

and the moon arrives

we complete one another

like stars in a blackened night

Then my love

I kiss you goodbye

until again the sun sets

on the shores of this Bahamian village isle
