Tidal Wave

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. - Thoreau

.

arms treading a rising swell

tongues entwined like serpentine rope

i kiss your candy apple, painted lips

gazing into the dark, stormy eye liner of demarcation

mascara dripping with skin's humidity

tracing the outline of indecent, thonged sex

below the equator

a fractional enigma

me the numerator with you the dominator

i'm a jellyfish

a lowly animal

dragged by an undertow of passion and lust

hauled by a passing gale's formidable gust

caught in a fishnet

awash in a tidal wave of encompassing sweat

.
