Skinny-Dipping

The cool water
On my skin
Sweet shivers
As it meets hot skin
Almost as good
As shivering with desire
But, oh!
Not quite
The stars are out
But thankfully not the moon
Or I might have lost my nerve
Courage, bolstered by
A sip of good whiskey
So glad I did this
Big fluffy towel
Lies close by
Oh, this really is bliss
Beautiful, sweet sensations
Night sounds
Just me, and the starry sky
Enjoyment of BEING
Can this last forever?
After a time, emerging from the water
Dripping
And enjoying it
Drowning in my feelings
Wishing to extend
This moment
Picking up the towel
Wrapping myself up
But in no hurry to return
Sitting by the water
The night air
Kissing
My wet shoulders
I'll go back in a little while
But not right now
