Wonderfully Wet
Lost, deep, among the grasses of the dunes
A summer shower rinsed us, sweet and warm
As, breathing in my ear, your steamy runes
I tasted drops of sea mist from your form
Our late-day passions ended as the storm
Was blushed to silence by the melting sun
The swirling stars, like fireflies in a swarm
Told painted clouds the evening had begun
And by a waking moon ... our lover's dreams were spun.
