Distant-gazing eyes

taking in a sunrise

of cocktail hues

glazing the moody blues

of the rolling ocean

Lulled, with languid sand

sculpted to our feet

and warm between our toes

my freckled nose

turned up against the sun

Your smile radiating

white as surf

Sultry sea spray and ocean scent

inhaled deep

into our hungry lungs

I sense the faint touch

of your lips upon my neck

as you brush my hair aside

and I can't hide

the beating of my heart

- the pulsing in my throat

and goose-bumps that rise

upon on my skin

Future memory?
