The Dream

I dream of us lying
on a white sand beach
a secret stretch of shoreline
on an island in the ocean
with water warm as our love and
cascading waves of pure emotion
when time for a moment forgets us
as physical laws are ignored
allowing our longing eyes
to meet in the space where
intimate thoughts are stored
senses acutely are mingled and blended
together with taste touch smell sight, and
hearing you whisper, my soul is upended
your body is my world to explore tonight
oh, sweet aromatic realm of wonder!
kisses of coconut mint berries and cream
the shock and the shudder
of your lightning, your thunder!
rouse me from my slumber.
...was it all just a dream?
