Chase me around the water’s edge,
toss me into the pool
Toe by toe and limb by limb
I drench my skin in blue
Waves so crisp come to tickle my neck
when you dive in to the abyss
you glide slightly beneath my reach
to greet my feet with a honeyed kiss
Ocean-blue hills support my float
and I lay upon the deep,
at once alone and no one knows
the liquid benefits I reap
My soul’s alive, revitalized
my whole being aroused
the lapping kisses wet my face,
awakening what the heat hath drowsed
For once I feel like me again,
no thing or thought can bear
to wipe away or think to take
the grin my face now shares
Roll over me sweet wind and wave,
caress me from beneath
and let no man breathe out the words,
“Baby, it’s time to leave.”
About the Creator

I've always loved writing, but I want my poems to mean something to people when they read them. I want to inspire, to relate, to communicate with others. All our feelings, emotions, stressors - they all need somewhere to go.
