There is a place that only we know <br />Where beauty is skewed <br />Where dew is salty <br />From our skin <br /> <br /> There is a place <br />Where motionless waves <br />Cascade over the soft land <br />And reflect red with the flames <br />Of an off shore candle <br /> <br />There is a place <br />Where you are my only desire <br />As you swim against me <br />Creating our own current <br />Under the crimson sea <br /> <br />You are my breath of fresh air <br />In this dark <br />Hot, ocean <br />Where I’m only safe in your arms <br /> <br />Surely if I were in this ocean <br />Without your security <br />I’d drown <br />Amongst red, satin waves <br /> <br />Until we leave this sea <br />We are one <br />We are content <br />And we love one another <br />In our crimson sea <br />Of bed sheets.<br /><br />Erica Francis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/crimson-sea/
