No Secret

Perhaps the best I could ever do
is learn to tolerate her presence in your life...
the way she taunts you when she thinks I'm not looking
or the way she wakes you from a deep sleep with her moans

Did she always know exactly how to tousle your hair?
Or make your skin glow?
You are always keenly aware of her and
She is always on your mind
the way you long for her would make
the most gracious of women, jealous.

She is considerably older than both of us
and yet, you tell me you never tire of her beauty
to you she is ageless and absolutely stunning
just as she was the from the moment
you first laid eyes on her all those years ago.


You have spent the night with her many times
as she lulled you to sleep.......
only to gently wake you at sunrise
you have trusted her with your heart
and she holds your deepest secrets
even with your eyes closed
I can still sense her reflection in them

She has brought you gifts and nourishment
and you've enjoyed endless hours of pleasure with her
as she wrapped herself around you
leaving her scent on your skin
and embedded in your memory

I am well aware you are in love with her
and long to be in her presence
taste her on your lips
as her salty moisture covers you
Could I ever lure you away from her
absolutely not

You desire her daily
but wait in silence until
you are with her once again
this I have come to accept
and know where I stand....

How could I ever think
even for one moment
that you would leave her?
a part of you would die if
I kept you away from the sea.
