"Last Breath"

by Alexander Beedy

A vast ocean pure and free
Sweeping whitness
A vale of virtuosity

A paramount tide
Like the greatness of Neptune
Capturing the rocks
Releasing the glare of a glistening moon

She slips within the lap
As a fervent chill wakes
Onward unfolding her back
Twisting and lifting her nape

Slowly she descends
Into the pleasant sands
Nestling her desires
Like a breath that makes a fire

Deeper and more frail
Like a green limb in a winters swell
It rises cautiously soothing
The innocence that never tells

From the toes to the waist
Enveloping the breasts
Wrapturing the heart
Snaking the neck

Conclusively trickling into the lips
Intimately paralyzing infinite sorrow
An eternal moment where Heaven and Earth
Never reach that blessed morrow
