How I wish these days would keep
And stay with us forevermore
Nights we barely get to sleep
When skin on skin we wear amour.

Beachside play helps us unwind
Blue sky, sunshine, playful splashing
Swimming close, our hearts entwined--
Tanned and wet, you’re dark and dashing

Innocent aquatica
Those around us never gleaning
Extended erotica
Every motion, doubled meaning

Underwater, out of breath
Only partly ‘cause of swimming
Wait for nighttime's little deaths
Heart and body close to brimming

Barely touching hand to hand
Sorely needed relaxation
Baked and dazed on towels in sand
Sundried souls find affirmation

I would have you take me here
And now among the rocks and sand
Love and sex in waters clear
If we could privacy demand

Instead I must be content
To bear the days with muted touch
'Til at night we zip the tent
And lust we capture, crush, and clutch.

So resigned to summer heat
As you rub my skin with lotion
Making my heart skip a beat
Whispering beneath the motion

Wait until the light is gone
And (quiet) in the tent we play
Up again until the dawn
Never more than a breath away

Oh, I wish these days would keep
And stay with us forevermore
Nights we do not care to sleep
For skin on skin, we are amour.
