Dog Paddling

Dog Paddling

A Poem by Athena Marie

 Your beauty swallows me whole
and I stand in a puddle of passion
muddling my way through words
that simply won't suffice. 

I am dog paddling 
when I'd rather just drown.

Time stills, cells expand
in a primal pull 
I can't control,
my body belongs 
against yours. 

But I just stand 
stunned and dumb
watching 
as desire commands 
the air around us.

Until discretion takes hold,
arms fold,
sunglasses slip over eyes,
trying to hide,
we murmur goodbye.

And I am left 
alone and wet,
dog paddling in the wake 
you left behind...
again.
