Dawn over the ocean Oct. 5, 2024

  

dawn stretches her pink fingers

across the sand

 painting all she touches and me

 like a spell cast I cannot resist

 toes deep in the cool sand

the only anchor I have

 to keep me from being

 drawn into the waves

and permanently lost

 the lust lingers still on my lips

 and hips, most of all in my heart

 where her fingers still grip

and where my heart beats faster

 most acute in the places like this

 at these times when the dawn has broken

 when I wander alone

waiting for a sunrise I know

must come yet without

t the satisfaction of what I need for most

for her pink fingers to paint me

 all over

 inside and out
