Summer days

A cove on the Costa Brava I discovered last summer.

Bodies lie horizontal
On a mattress of soft sand
A sheet of towel in between
Splish splash drops
A ball drops

Rays of sunshine
Screen the sky
Flames of heat
Burning feet
Smothering lotion
A soothing potion

She plays with seashells
Curiously dwells
Digs deeper, massaging her fingers
Crumbs of sand highlight her strands
Looks at me
Flirts with her eyes
...happy sighs

A timid hush
Coquetish rush
A scream of fear
A celebratory cheer
These ripples are not shy
Loud and clear
Can you hear?

All day long the waves perform their dance
Splish splash
Crash
A turbulent romance

A dreamy breeze
A lethargic ease
Strong hands
Familiar touch
I've missed you
So much

An anesthetizing hiss
We kiss
Tickling fingers
A warm breath lingers
Spine
Nape
Escape

The sun crawls down
Pomegranate paints the horizon
Merging wigwag violet azure
We stand there
Hand in hand
Bedazzled by the sunset that shimmers the land
