Summer Romance

Summer Romance

With wind on sand and sea on shore,
Your hair blows in your face once more,
A simple toss reveals a smile,
A sideways glance which does beguile.

Your cover-up; some lacy white,
Reveals your body in the light,
Come tempt the inner man in me,
And, holds me in such reverie.

With rapid foot fall on the sand,
Out pacing me with, “I command,”
A backward smile, which draws me in,
With lovely, leggy, lover’s sin.

So with such speed and manliness,
I grab your waist to turn; caress,
And, you but feign demure surprise,
Yet, love and wonder’s in your eyes.

My fumbling hands and fingers trace,
Each strand of hair, to hold your face,
To turn your lips so they meet mine,
As we begin a love divine.
