Dreaming of hot summer days
with you
on your sailboat
Followed by sweltering
summer nights
alone with you
Making breakfast together
hot kitchen
in our skivvies
Eating breakfast in our room
ocean view
a tropical breeze
Eyes meet across the dinette set
blazing lust
glazed undisguised love
Another day of sailing
liquid sun
on bare shoulders
Monday morning rises too soon
suitcases stacked
mementoes packed away
Deep kisses goodbye
long hugs
hands clutching fabric
Until next time we meet
so discreet
being together again
One last kiss and farewell wave
no tears
Refusing to cry
