i love when
you call
my name
it’s like
the wind whispering
on a hot summer eve
the sun close to set
the water
calm
blue
serene
sucking me into
ecstasy
feeling
drowned
in the quenching drink
handed to me
feeling
the ice
touch my lips
and
the kiss
to warm them

i love when
you call
my name
leaving the point
unsaid
smiling
laughing
hugging
instead of
needless banter
bringing me
a taste
from the sea
the salt
sticking everywhere
and
the kiss
that cleanses

i love when
you call
my name
just before
the room light
dims
the sheets cold
but
not within
the dreams
that hold
each to other
discovering
relishing
the kiss
