Night Love

​          - Night is luxurious –
 
Lets water lap its languid tongue
along the shore as we stroll our shadows away;
Asks dear moon: Would you lower your gaze tonight?
 
Lets garden variety lust
swell up between our toes;
Claims our hearts for a symphony of steel drum solos,
 
Lets sweaty obscurity pass
her hands over our bodies;
Gifts our mouths to salty pleasure.
 
          - Night is salacious –
 
Holds tight your lovers whispered promises
learns to share them with you in solitude;
Sliding sandy fingers down your spine one            at          a           time,
 
Holds your skirt while the sea
sucks your ankles into walking hickies;
Guides humidity to pool through your sacrum,
 
withholds oxygen from your lungs so the little moths
living there have to flirt with the cilia to survive;
Gently licks you into delirious oblivion.
