| U.S.A. Rising Sweetly
Rising sweetly in quiet lay
velvet curved softness doe
Sleep soundly my precious love
into my arms you go
Chambers of love remembering
sweet tiredness of frolic play
Kisses on me your sweet breath
outside world held at bay
In the morning caresses are
hugging tight with love
Where comes such so sweet
for sent by heaven above
Wake not now your heart
for I watch over your sleep
Sweet dreams of loving things
my arms will hold and keep
Sea Tongues
sea tongues lick my toes
wind breath breathes salty breath
gull calls enter my ears
the dying smell of fish death
waterwaves push me
distant child laughs I hear
blue big sky over me
sun bites and back is seered
shells arrive in early morn
the sand stays all day
wood piers swaying slowly
bathers come to lay
temporary castles of yesterday
crab eyes peek from sand
waterguards patrol up and down
sea oats divide the land
big waves growl with clouds
rain stings hard for rain
kite tails flutter high
hard wind brings sand pain
huge water body before me
tides come and go
lovers walk as one
and sea tongues lick my toes |
