The Late Spring Sun
Out in the late spring sun,
Soothed by a second sea breeze,
Watching the sweat beginning
To bead on your abdomen,
Chestnut hued and darkening.
.
Thinking of former lovers
Wondering why new ones
Never seem to equate.
.
Will you ever get
To share that intensity again,
While you still love how you look,
Out in the late spring sun?
.
How strange…
A swooning solitude so near solstice.
Darkening alone.
.
Are the suns eyes blinded by their own light?
How much they must miss.
Lucky "man moon" basking.
Looking down.
.
You bask too.
.
Oh…
There, a first rolling droplet,
Another transparent silvery lover.
Unraveling, leaving a mindless liquid path.
Traversing ribs,
Tickling then silently crashing to the deck
.
(Failing in its task of cooling you down).
.
The light is heat now, baking dark fabric
Hot to the touch, in and out.
Hot to the touch but good to touch!
This heat contradicts.
Squeeze the lotion to just beneath elastic
Pressing and containing.
.
The light is warmth now
Why is it again that you are alone?
The top, take the top
Better, that feels….
Who's to know anyway, who cares?
.
Lotion and pleasure applied.
More sweat blossoms everywhere
Somewhere another kind of sweat.
Who's to care?
.No one to know
.No one to caress but yourself.
The heat, the sweat and wet are one.
And you are too
Who's to know or care... or see?
But…
Some one is watching!
