as you come into me

taste me as i shall taste you

for i have taken so much from the shores

but i am always drawn to you

and like old lovers

of many moons ago

we will kiss passionately

though briefly

for this affair is short lived

and futile

for i shall always be pulled back

to wander farther away

to yearn and to hunger

for that next union

when i am sea

and you are sand.
