Liquid Embrace

sand and shells charm

 the navigator as seascape glistens

 splashing waves sparkle in meandering crook

s of spoil islands

eyes pause on water trail

s as darkness looms

 across gentle breakers

 tall fronds echo

 guttural squawks from sulky heron

 vexed by intrusive forager

 trolling with last radiant rays

 of evening luster lure

 of one last cast beckons

 absorbed angler

 soothing sounds of shifting tide

s is the beating of a woman’s heart

 to a fisherman sensations

 of crusty spray

 against his skin

 alluring as a sirens

 caress but as the days glory

 dims to crimson a seasoned salt

 begins drifting his attention homeward

 where the beauty of his companion

awaits with the power

 that haunts his nightly pleasures

 drowning in viscuous pools

of sticky honey

 the touch of the briny sea

 evanesces into loveʼs liquid embrace
