Love Poem: The Earth and Sea

The Earth and Sea

Somewhere between the simple, slow and quiet
She found him, far away from the touristy crowd
Shirt untucked, canvas slung over his shoulder
His skin, warm and salty
Sweet leftovers from his affair with the sea
She missed his taste, a revelation realized
As her lips traced each of his pulses
Throbbing with life, so vital, so intense.

He found her organic, neatly tucked away in the coastal hillside
Her scent, as elemental as her beauty
Her eyes, the violet that blooms from the Jacaranda tree
Armeria painted her lips a soft spanish pink
He charted her every detail in his mind 
He carefully navigated to points of interest
His compass, his heart
His hands, her pleasure
Their love
The earth and sea.
