It's a rolling thunder

a slow ocean tide

that so often takes me by surprise

when it reaches me

when you reach me

when you touch me

a desire unmatched

unknown

until the day you took me

into your heart

into

your arms

i never thought i'd thirst so much

for water

for you

for the shimmering fluid shape of your body

the slick wet feel of your skin

of your sex

of your soul

i never thought i'd want an ocean

all i had ever known was fire

flame

and burning

but you

with your sweet salt taste

and your soft silk voice

draw me out

into the surf

everytime.
