Two Lovers In Their Happy Silence Poem by RIC BASTASA

morning
shower
oh the gentle
baby fingers
of slow
rhythm

breaths of
a virgin
touch of
new spring

love shower
upon my groin
how can two
be lonely?

how can silence
be threatening?
the silence of
two bodies
crawling upon
each others
arms, breasts
thighs

sea waves upon
the laps of the
shores
foams on top
of this
turbulence

love erupting
skies opening the
gates of
love songs

upon the calm face
of the blue sea
when the sun fades
sleep closes
in those smiling eyes
