Butternut Sand Poem by Don MacIver

Remember summer's sunset amble
Skin moist upon a Chesterman wind
Cooling mist of anticipation
Would caress night's air in languid brume
Our fingertips tracing fervent souls
A mystic passion burning within
Barefoot rhythms on butternut sands
Adrift as elegant Berwick's swan

Turned in the pause of awaiting gaze
Eyes glisten tears of akoya pearl
Fragrant Almond L' Erbolario
From the luster of your golden skin
Your hair falls gentle as soft Charmeuse
And we kiss in salacious linger
Aftertaste of Ardeche Chardonnay
Would tarry as Santorini rain

We lay in the tepid shallows as
A rising flood tide intoxicates
Lo the warm wetness of passion's flow
Would release upon excited skin
Our bed of undulant sand softly
Cushions our impassioned love making
Your touch burns as a simmering sun
In the dusk of days I remember
