The Beach

the body is beautiful

Skin, shining, slick and bare,

Molten honey,

Curled hair, wet and dripping

Muscles, flexed and firm,

Corded and ridged, define my gaze,

As they ripple and move like fluid bronze

A god in his element,

The sea, 

threatening ,

confronting ,

waves rolling off him,

Ever daring to challenge his authority,

A greek statue transformed to life,

His beauty, his strength,

in sculptured planes

Radiates  strength,

Creates an urge to touch

Ignites a desire,

A need

A longing

Awesome descriptive powers you possess. Glad to have visited.

Oh to live somewhere hot. I've got a longing to take 15 lairs of clothes off. I'll hit the gym tonight, to get hot.

A pleasing reflection on the essential elements of a beach, with a clever choice of human attributes. The double entendre adds to the pleasure of reading this piece.
