To Love

Languid ripples lapped lazily,

Undulations stroke gently,

Swish, swirl, swell, rustle,

Slowly, steadily, leisurely.

Waves whispered sweetly,

Kisses caressing carelessly,

Creating careful chaos,

Love and lust and longing.

The moon mirrored my madness,

Complete total helplessness,

She spoke softly;

Surrender, submit, succumb.
