Discovery of Us
……………………………………………………………………

If I could cut
The strings that bind you,
I’d tie them to my dreams…
And reel you in,
A trophy catch…
For this ole’ salty soul …
Born upon the seas.

I’d take you to
The deepest depths,
Where love swims free…
Anointing your soul
With love that does
Not control.

I’d laugh with joy…
As I watched you frolic,
With my kin of spirit…
Dolphins smile without
Trying you know…

I’d sponge your every curve
And spot tender…
As we bathed in waves,
Pretending to claim
Stars watching…as ours.

I’d dry you with moonbeams…
But be certain I’d leave
Enough still wet…so taste
Of salt would be found…
With lusting tongue.

I’d bury your dress
In the sand…
Demanding a kiss,
For every step of search
You took…telling you,
If you were hot or cold.

And when midnights chill
Found you…
I’d take your hand
In mine…
And lead you to a bed
Of sea grass…
Where I’d warm you
With heated passion.

I’d wake you in time,
To watch orange
And gold of sunrise…
In silence of meditation,
When the moment arrived…
That I felt your spirit,
Join forces with mine…

I’d take the lead,
Through another day…

On our journey of discovery.
