Skinny dipping in translucent pools...

as soft
milk white silken foam
laps at naked
limbs

mouth short of breath
makes no attempt
to break free
as lips
salt stained
crack
beneath the pressure


of your kiss.


Arms grasping at life
as legs
entangled by living bonds
drag me down
down
deeper into your sweet embrace

faining death
exhausted
I surface reborn of your love
of your body

once more I gaze into your eyes

skinny dipping in translucent pools

and smile.
