Surrender to the Tide

The tide reclined, a lover at my feet,
its breath a whisper threading through my hair;
I walked the edge where sand and water meet,
each step a secret, bare, and trembling there.

The moon unveiled her silver, slow caress,
her fingers sketched the curves I could not hide;
I opened like the sea in soft excess,
my body pulsed in rhythm with the tide.

The salt became a kiss upon my skin,
the waves a murmur rising in my chest;
their rolling touch awoke a fire within,
a yearning deeper than the ocean’s rest.

And in that dusk, I yielded to the sea—
its ebb and swell had taken hold of me.

Silk Against My Skin

I wear the night like silk against my skin,
its threads spun deep from whispers yet unspoken.
A single glance invites the fire within,
each breath a vow the dark has never broken.

The curve of shadow shapes the hour’s breath,
the lace of moonlight clings where heat has stayed.
Desire treads the narrow path to death,
yet lingers where my willing heart is laid.

No prayer can cleanse what pleasure dares to claim,
no saint could hold this hunger in their hands.
The world dissolves to pulse, to heat, to flame,
as I obey the body’s soft commands.

If sin be dressed in beauty’s warm disguise,
then let me live in its unblinking eyes.
