57. Rispetto — Lover on the Shore
You roll and crash upon my humble sand,
Making sweet love to me between my shanks;
Atlantic stranger, where you make your stand,
There shall I linger on your gentle banks.
I've seen the sunsets light your handsome face,
I've heard the winds churn up your fluid lace,
But when I feel your watery caress,
My word of sweet surrender comes with "Yes!"
(To be continued...)
