cool river goddess

am i the prey
in your river
of coolness?
or am i the one
who lies?
as the sun fades
crickets chirp
tides turn
slowly, my eyes
trace the surface
of your silken beauty
majestic strands
deep and luscious
i'm not scared
of the dance
together in the night
sweet passion ensues
you are not cold
safe, warm, triumphant
we are one
the feast is ours
and we want more
of the cool river
where our hearts
are free.
