Remembering a summer at Pawley's Island with my hubby.

Salt and sweat
dry on my lips
from summer
kisses
of yours.
Mosquitos buzz
but don't bite,
I'm not so sweet
this ocean night;
but sticky hot -
where are the bees?
Sand rubs between my knees
as your honeyed eyes
drift off to sleep,
under the crisp cotton sheet.
