Listen. Carefully. Shut your eyes.
Listen to the whispers
Sweet murmurings
The response
Urges more whispers
I want to hear what is being said
Are they lovers?
Open your eyes
See the caress
Ever so gentle
Massaging the lower part
Whispers in the upper part
What happened?
We were learning from you
You are still here.
We will wait till you hear
Our silent breaths
You are lost
We are found
We bask in nature
The waves run their hands
Through the hair of the rocks
Whispering love quotes into her ears
The waves caress the feet of the rocks
Everso gently
Yet roughly I daresay
On certain days
When the affection is nigh
On a darkened night.
But today is in the dusk
Filled with a musk
Take it all in.
Live and love
As one
