Last night a shot of courage
Loosened my inhibited tongue
And I admitted some things
Better left unsaid

I felt the strong circle of your arms
As you enfolded me in your
Uncomplicated kiss
Just as sweet as I remembered it

Your lips nibbled at my skin
Butterscotch and heady wine,
French delicacies, savouring them

Knots on a fishing boat, close knit
and securely tied – we slept
Lulled by the rhythm of the
Sea that was our breathing
Synchronised, beating hearts:

For once, my dreams came easy.
