Konati
You were all about me
There, in feline shapely form
Like the shaded islands laying
upon clear green waters.
Azure blue was the colour of sky
that etched out your shape upon
the sand.
I admired the long soft curve from
the nape of your neck to the indent
of your supple back before curving
up again to delightful buttocks.
Your northern paleness was echoed by the
barren islands of Konati.
They were echoed again as you turned and
displayed delectable nipples.
As your naked body slowly tanned
under a hot sun I sensed the taste of
crystal seas as my tongue later found
pathway’s between curves of salt kissed
pleasure.
As old friend Gerard Dillion would say of
paintings of Irish hills, look closely and
they appear as beautiful nude women
sleeping.
That was you on that Konati day.
A memory of a Croatian summer
that will always remain.
