Palpitating

Shiver of sea

Sparkling splinter of

Numinous ocean

Gifted personality

* * *

The Great Green

Divested of all terror

Its playfulness distilled to

Living livery of wave

* * *

I return new-born

With Dawn’s

Rose fingered bloom

To find you

Hoping you will

Humour me

(It is you who decides

whether we shall meet

In the scary deep)

* * *

Yearning to grasp you

On this moving

Merry-go-round

Of touching

Not touching

* * *

Today, will I see:

The smooth  _sleekit_ slip of

Curling curiosity

That makes me cry out loud with glee

(Like I am 5 years young again and

There is nothing but  _this!_)

* * *

Your meanest of tricks could

Make a romp of otters blush

I can’t get enough of you; could hunt you forever

I pray we never catch you

* * *
