I'm innocent

It was the soft glow of moonlight
carressing your velvet dress..
That!..was the clarion call..
It was the mingling of a cool
evening mist and the smell of
salt air that spoiled my strength..
It was the gentle slap of ocean
waves against the old wooden
row boat as we made our way
to the lighthouse..
Your giggles danced accross a
midnight sea..and for this night,
this very night..time fell asleep
Quickly I tied the boat to that sea
sprayed pylon..
You snatched up the last two bottles
of wine and we raced up the shakey
iron spiral stairs..
And slumbered into each others arms
our wine breathed kisses heard the
oceans song-

I have a strofoam bouy I got from a friend who lives out by Washington D.C. There is a lighthouse in Chesapeake Bay by St. Michaels. They have a museum there about lighthouses and various activities in that bay.dance bartender

To know the subtle and not so subtle nuances of what has us 'collapse into' another's Soul.. innocence is bliss. So very beautiful cafe,

Hi Jim

This is an interesting mixing of metaphor, I hope the ocean's song is far removed from the song of the sirens - as a terrible fate awaits all who hear those femme fatales, (Odysseus excepted.) That notwithstanding, this is a very romantic write.

Cheers buddy

How romantic Jim, I hope, or should I say, I am sure, it was such a sweet night for the both of you. With wine and loving thoughts while on each other's arms. Just beautiful..

Thanks for sharing.

you are guilty as charged for this write
beyond that your tapestry is a class above the rest
somehow I was there at a side
watching as it unfolds before
my eyes. . . I was there Jim

of innocence (knights notwithstanding). Thanks

accidental string of words. I was
