The nor'easter

The exceptional manner, your

Inclusion, first near to heart

Later little by little, nearer to

Torso, in amazing way a hiking

To proscribed bristly waist line,

Under duress of passion the

Clouds had no choice to melt,

On the sleepy mountains often

Fire made the deep sequence,

On moonlit riverbed, dreams

Strolled bare feet, holding hands

We achieved to horizon line,

The moon sank into the shadow

Of towering waves, ocean

Left the coast by immersing all

The coralline, steep ancient rocks,

Sand terrains, abandoned boats,

The living cavities of coral reef,

Bubbles of pleasure breathed

Leisurely from the body and soul,

Tiny blooms or fine sand particles,

Brackish skin, smoky emotion

Drowsy eyes, unwrapped sky, we

Gazed the scattering of galaxy night,

The nor'easter passed in its way,

Espousal moments remained intact!
