We stood fingers entwined <br /> Drenched by falling rain <br /> But did not notice <br />Thinking ourselves love's perfection <br />Passion's luscious first flowering. <br /> We did not speak <br /> There was no need. <br />Hand in hand we strolled along a beach <br />As waves crashed and rolled. <br /> She was naked and beautiful <br /> Hesitantly I touched her <br />My soul rejoiced with exquisite rapture <br />Such wild trembling of sensuous love. <br /> Down into the depths we fell <br /> Washed from that rocky shore <br />Down into a mysterious ocean of delight.<br /><br />Colin Ian Jeffery<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-stood/
