Summer Seduction

Eyes closed to blinding Sun. Face tipped upward to penetrating rays. Melt me lest Pool fulfill it's liquid promise. Sweat drips, drops, sizzles. Yoopromszzdyoodszaavvuszsszz! Rivulets evaporate. Lucky few return to Big Puddle.

Siren beckons me too. Lids closed, but barely escaping seduction. I too long for cool blue embrace. I'm a masochist. I can wait.

Teasing light blue breeze. Momentary ice rivulets on my skin. Intoxicating smell of coconut, papaya, lime. Making believe. Lounging on some foreign shore. Lazy roll over.

Belly-flopped on the ground. Washed up on the shores of a forgotten lover. Oily fingerprints, scars of my favor. Book arches its back at me. You swore 'til the end! Suffocating words helpless on the pavement.

I casually caress its spine. Still like you Book. Too many words in my throat. Pool makes me lethargic. Barely a whisper. Sun makes me sleepy. Images behind my eyes. I dream about you. You make me thirsty.

Ahhh, cold, crisp...mmm, lime, mint. Perfecting my mojito skills...not drinking, making. Crushed ice cuddles my tongue. Bubbles tickle my palate. Rum bites my lips. Mint, so refreshing. Lime, just enough tart. Yes, enough tart. Words stolen right off my page.

Sorry, short attention span.

Green metal thermos. Ice crystal shroud turns cold sweat too quickly. Puddle grows around it. Wet spot on the towel, dry as a bone. Skin sun-baked to golden perfection. Sweat filled nooks and crannies. I am a waffle. Argh, can't stand it! Not evaporating fast enough.

Darting glance thrown at Pool. Bird flitters on the surface. Water quickly regains composure. Mirror surface once again. Every pore gasps oxygen, then holds its breathe. Ssliiicsse. Through the surface. Cold and hot collide. Shatter myself. Splatter myself. Everywhere. Whole among the ripples. Extending all around.

Intense elation! I could get used to this. I could really get to liking it. Why lie?! I love this!
