WATER DANCE  by karen marie christa minns

I am a Pirate Captain
 splayed out
  on the moonlit deck.
One booted leg
 propped up,
As you whirl towards me,
 hair a mass of silver
  and gold.
You are fire.
 Liquid heat.
 Blue lightning
  sparking
in your blue, blue eyes.
 While below us,
the rocking waves
  keep time.
