“Girl Unsatisfied”

A girl moves with the night;
Toward tumbling waves, beaches bright.
Moonlight shines beaming down
Warm water all around.

They play and laugh;
Hands hold each other,
A whisper, a soft smile.
The girl pauses with the night.

Hushing minds, mouths,
All of nature settling down;
One moment still, no sound-
Eyes close,
Lips touch,
Bodies flow;
Softly
Slowly
Wanting
More

A footstep,
Voices,
Twigs on the ground,
Moonlight beaming down.
Lips part
Hands unwind;
Harsh
Rapid
Unsatisfied.

The girl withdraws from the night.
