The Sea

     roils, tosses, billow
     soft and gentle swells of your hair
The sky
     cloudless, soft, endless
     with a single red rose
     your lips
I stand by your side
     my heart beating
your strength
     and emotion
your love
     and your laughter.
My best friend
     from long ago.
I worship my God
     and you.

A touch
     our arms around each other
     my fears fly away
the beating of your heart
the warmth of your breasts
I hold you close

beautiful
