" Cold Wind--Warm Skin "
Drawn to the privacy of the quiet beach,
And the deafening roar of the waves,
To the mangled shells, and seagull screech,
We surrendered to our bodies, like slaves.
For that seaside was our wild and secret love place,
With our toes we drew hearts in the shale,
A handful of seaweed she smeared in my face,
I splashed water on her bare bosoms pale.
The sea spray bit cold on our naked skin,
As she teased and taunted so well,
Her magnetic curves how they drew me in,
Like the ocean I did seethe and swell.
Goose bumps crawled on our bodies entwined,
As the harsh wind caressed from the South,
We groped for heat from desires combined,
And the warm saline taste of our mouths.
The moonlight danced high as the sea did ebb,
Our spent bodies now bared to the sky,
The traces of our love play on the rippled sandy bed,
Not even the waves could deny.
We lay starkers on the strand, no madding crowds,
Still flirting in the naughty nip,
Our only company the shadows of the clouds,
And the drone of a distant ship.
Alas ! Our bliss was destined to fade,
Ne'er again to converge in the tide,
The moon no more a voyeur to lust displayed,
When mad youths their pleasures not hide.
Memories now so vivid, I could nearly touch,
The tangles in her wild windswept hair,
Or fondle the breasts that I miss so much,
As across the barren beach I stare.

About this poem:
In a bold Irish mood today !
A recent beach stroll brought back
these memories of youth.
Would I do it today ?
Damn right I would. Ha Ha !

My first time with my future husband was a skinny dip, after a Midsummer Ball in Downings in 1986.
Although the marriage did not end well, thank you for reminding me we had fun once.
