Making Believe.
Shimmer enmisted dark sea and dune
cover night\'s secrets
in ebony blanket to capture the magic
of pretend honeymoon.
Seashore encrusted and hazily floating,
the two, pleasure-seekers
make honeyed love, lying cave-hidden
by tide\'s ebbing coat.
Making believe they own all the beach
their granite divan
becomes love-softened before blissful
and kiss-filled they sleep.
Lovers must take what comes from fate
yet now coupled these
two know how to sweeten their waiting.
