The Sea

Waves wash against the curve of the coast
light surfs over the tops of the waves
smoke curls up from your lips
a string of hair wet stuck on your cheek
I am no stranger to this awe i now feel
you do it every time
The mystery of someone else's skin
lips to kiss and to lie with
ah sweet human duplicity
we can be both love and in love
stretched out on the sand 
in a dreamy haze
Out on the edge of the world the stars and moon have a strange pull
wanting to stretch out my soul into the night sky
our puppet hearts beating to a new rhythm 
a new idea a new play a new day
Its coming up on the hills behind us
though we can not see it yet
Our love twists out to sea on gusts of winds
a bird sings in the dark
A song we can not sing too
But listen hear its story
Feel its beauty
Makes something dance inside
