lying with my lover on the beach at midnight
the beach was best at midnight,
when the daytrippers were at home
nursing sunburns, or in a bar,
honky-tonk dancing in gritty flip-flops.
the beach was best at midnight
when its beauty was ours alone,
when its sand gleamed in white moonlight
and stars spread across the gulf sky,
a blanket of lights across the bed
of soft tropic night; when the surf,
breaking against the shore in ordered rows,
was the only sound in the airy silence.
the beach was best at midnight,
when we lay together on a sandy towel,
enveloped in the starlit whisper
of the rising, falling waves.
