The ocean exhaled its salty lament.
Heavy, languid clouds melted into the horizon.
The ocean waves gently lapped the timid shoreline,
Like a lover’s kiss,
Like a purring kitten drinking her milk.

The dim headlights shone on fading road lines.
The road danced and twisted along the beach’s curves,
a passionate snake stalking its precious kill.
The sensual humming of the ocean waves,
a love song to the heavens.
Night Drive
By Amy Edwards
Toes stiff.
Eyes up.
Chest out.
Stomach in.

Purple lace
and fairest grace.
Glorified beauty
in Glorious place.

His feathered head, upwards
Her body poised, perfection
Strong legs around strong body
Big hands around small waist

A delicate hand reaching for unseen Heaven
Ballet Ballad
By Amy Edwards
She hadn’t changed from her first day of school dress.
Its bright white flowers on the black background,
armholes two sizes too big.
Her hair braided into frizzy black plaits. 
A smile shone in her brown eyes.

The eyes were smiling at the boy with red hair.
He tried to hide his dimples.
His eyes rolled to the right,
as her lips pressed against his cheek.
His face scrunched up.

Infected!
Cooties!
First Kiss, Girl Cooties
