Tides of this lust <br />Sent crashing into bodies <br />Into pools of sex <br />Animals, demons, angels, fish <br />Sleeping <br />Touching, kissing <br />Ebbing with breaths born of <br />Ravaging <br />Sea winds catching hair, mussing it <br />Fussing with it, Still we don’t care <br />Rocking with the motion of the ocean <br />You are a boat in the sea of me <br />Swirling, drowning <br />Tasting the salty sweetness of stormy nights <br />Fog ridden dreams of eyes and rain <br />And the whipping ropes of your sinewy muscles <br />Pressing me up against your highest decks <br />We are under and over <br />And it is all around us <br />Quenching our thirsts <br />Driving us mad, We are not merpeople <br />We are humans <br />Shush now, eyes flutter <br />Sand settles <br />Stars reflecting on the quiet now <br />Fingers trailing in the wake <br />The ocean is calm <br />My soul is open <br />Torn asunder and blinking <br />Under the blanket of infinity <br />We are cozy, spent in this sea bed <br /> <br />(3/18/05)<br /><br />Meredith Fahey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sea-of-love-2/
