Moonlight Riding the Oceans Tide

Moonlight riding the oceans tide
Covers images of love pressed into the sand
And smoothes the beaches to hide
Evidence of lovers woman and man
Man chases woman in playful flight
Laughter wakes the still of the night
He catches her, the figures bind
The ocean whispers a mist fine
Ruby lips I press next to mine
A turtle lays her eggs which will hatch in time
Emotions of love flame the night
Passions of flesh that turn sweat bright
Man and woman together tight
Lovers alone on a beach at night
The moon looks down to see
Embarrassed he hides behind masking clouds
Winds blow the ocean breeze
Soft rain falls, lovers run under towels
Picking up belongings running to the car
They sit and watch the storm as if from afar
The turtle returns to the sea
The lovers drive back to the city
