Testing the Waters

Love laps at the shore of your soul,

tickles,

like waves licking bare toes,

you want to flee

from the fresh surprise

of frothy kisses

reviving your need;

Lace your fingers in mine,

intertwine,

hold my hand and wade

into the refreshing sea,

we'll test the waters again,

paddling far beyond the

dry sands of our broken hearts.
