Spring Break Iv - Love of the Ocean

A boy on the verge of manhood Can lift a girl effortless Her crotch to his chest In the weightless ocean The young woman Eye to eye with the soon-to-be man Who possesses surprising strength She is taken he is amazed They should stay there forever Up to their shoulders In the curling surf Never come out To where the burden is heavy And innocence dries up in the air Like salt and seaweed Crusting the skin Stay in love Would be my advice Remain whole in the rolling sea Entwined as one Gazing To one another Heart to heart ear to ear Teal eels of equals.
