Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Love Song of the Sea

image source
The summer sun sets our bodies to glisten
Sounds of the waves make us stop and listen
Of love and lust the sea whispers discreetly
Lovers can hear it and obey completely
The warm water washes away our past sin
Like Venus we're birthed from the sea to begin
And so like her subjects obey her command
Embrace and make love in the soft ocean sand
