A Kiss Is All The Gravity...

Our diamond skin
Burns in the radiance
Of midnight,
Faceted in tiers of moonlight
Satellited by spiraling gleam 

Together our naked clarity
Glances off the undressed sky
And rolls amidst the twining stars
Arching through the night
Returning firmly to light
Upon our moon-bright bodies
In a luminous kiss upon this shore

Each wave dying
And reborn,
Casting liquid diamonds
Upon the melting shore.

This is the vision of you and I
That I will always remember.

And you whispered me a poem:

"a kiss
is all the gravity
that the tide,
so wide-eyed,
feels
of the moon
tonight".

And with a graceful hand
You wrote it in the sand 

I thought hard
And after a few tries
I wrote this for you: 
 
“I find you in the tide pouring across the shore
And you in the wind following each wave find me
And when we meet the sound we make
Is like the secret of the sea uttered thunderously".  

And this secret we shared that night

By every tide break, unrolling in scrolls of foam
Along the parchment of sand
Caligraphied by the soles of lovers, hand in hand,
This elegant script patterned on the font of stars
Waving on the sea as the moon turned 
The cylinder of the tide across the shore
And sealed back the moment's impress
To be seen only once and never more

And our cries carried on and on, carried on the wind.
The ocean inside our skin pounding all night upon the shore
As our kisses defied gravity.
