We skim along the deserted beach
like a pair of carefree kittens
absorbed in our private world,
a flawless sun massaging our skin
as the waves tease our feet
and the sand caresses our toes.
I grasp your hips and raise you skyward,
your back arched like a guileless swan,
your arms outstretched as if to clutch
the puffs of ivory clouds drifting lazily overhead.
I carry you into the water and gently let you down,
the waves slapping our thighs,
luring us forward like an oceanic temptress.
We hold hands and embrace the warm salty sea
that beckons to us like a mother’s plea,
and as the waters envelop us,
we kiss a kiss of immeasurable passion,
the relentless undertow leading us
to our own magical hideaway
