a pearl sat on the softest piece of you,
at the crossroads of your hips.
I lean in and kiss it, the delicate taste of salt,
and my cold nose is warmedby your skin,
the gentle smell of aftershave and flesh.
I look up at you, your prickled jaw looks back,
you look at your eyelids,
the sensation overcoming you.
that little pearl, a bleached version of your skin,
it is the riches of a thousand oceans.
