I Don't Need An Ocean

i don't need an ocean
to feel
the taste of salt on my lips
or hear the relentless white noise
of the waves beating out
tidal rhythm
in the shell of my head
or...the total caressing touch of
engulfing sea
a l l
enveloping me,
when the merest sound
of your smile spins
cocooning moonlight
in all directions about me,
and the throat of your
murmur, low and animal,
pushes me into
that
god-i'm-drowning-in-you
forever
...[the end is important in all things......
...( i feel like a bird flying into your window,
...trying to get in, trying to get in) ]

my feet touch beach
and feel the compression of sand under them
{as undulating sea nuances }
