Late evening sunshine
reflects on the glass tray;
the breeze, blowing off the beach
brings flowers through the window;
tidied hands leave the pitcher
at the shelf beside the bed;
alcohol on the rise
brings dinner visions;
how many meals shared
by barebacks under the clouded ceiling;
the immaculate white sheets
are the only virgin here.

The Waking Den 
dang chris – this last sentence – very unexpected – very well expressed – food for thought..
I agree, excellent ending to this.
Especially enjoyed the second stanza and the last stanza is a great shift.
Great melding of the romantic and the natural. The last three stanzas really sock it home – stunning stuff.
Really nice turn of the screw, great one shot!
And through the eroticism of the ever clean feeling of being soul washed at the beach. Lovely. Gay @beachanny
Hmmm quite the honeymoon memories by the beach; who came before???
Nicely crafted Chris
thanks for the One Shot
