Ingrained

I feel each grain
and think of you

the sand between our skin ...
   abrasive
each movement ...
   stimulating
      sensual

laying spent, exhausted,
the tide dousing our bodies -
renewing us

lips salted and dry,
need to quench
both thirst and desire

we emerged from the waves
and made love
here ... unrestrained,

now, I await the next
high tide,

... wondering ...

This reminds me somehow of mermaids, with its reference to the high tide. Sensual and breathtaking!

Wow Wie
I think beach sex is overrated. Little bit grainy. Know what I mean? But hey, I am a beach bum. I loves what ever I can find...

Nice job. I like this one. It is very sensual and ends on a bit of an elusive note. Very well done on this one.
